How to 
authenticateThe authentication method can be selected: 
[No authentication], [POP before SMTP authentication] or 
[SMTP authentication].
POP server authentication may be required by your ISP. In 
that case, set POP before SMTP authentication.
 No authentication: No authentication when sending an e-
mail.
 POP before SMTP authentication: Some SMTP servers 
that send e-mails do not have an authentication feature. 
Therefore, the camera uses the authentication of a POP 
server that receives e-mails, before sending e-mails.

authentications. The CRAM-MD5 authentication is not 
supported.
