Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
If your wireless router is WPS-compatible (bears 
the logo shown on the right), connecting the cam-
corder to it can be very easy. With WPS, you will

not successfully connect the camcorder using WPS, try using the 
SCN
[WPS: Button]*Simply press and hold the WPS button on your 
wireless router and then touch the camcorder’s screen. This is 
the easiest connection method if you are using a WPS-compati-
ble router. For details, see

( A 138).
[WPS: PIN Code]*Access the wireless router’s configuration screen 
using your Web browser. The camcorder will give you a PIN 
code, which you will enter into the browser. You will need a WPS-
compatible router and a computer or other device connected to 
it. For details, see 
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) ( A 138).
[Search for Access Points]Following the camcorder’s onscreen 
instructions, you select your wireless router from a list and then 
enter your password. For details, see

password and other network settings. This method is recom-
mended for advanced users of Wi-Fi networks. For details, see
