Access Point:
This camera functions as an access point that allows it to be connected over a wireless connection to a smartphone or a computer, without going through a router, etc.
• Note that the wireless LAN connection between the camera and smartphone is maintained even while the EXILIM Link app is not running on the smartphone or when the app is running in the background. Leaving a wireless LAN connection in effect will shorten camera battery life and cause the camera to become warm.
Shut down the EXILIM Link app and turn off the camera to terminate the wireless LAN connection whenever you are not using it.
• Using the smartphone’s Wi-Fi setting screen to terminate a wireless LAN connection will cause the camera to enter connection standby. If no connection is established within three minutes, the camera will shut off automatically.
NOTE
• Note that using wireless LAN functions requires more battery power usage than normal.
Make sure that the camera battery is sufficiently charged before starting a wireless LAN operation.
• The controller cannot be used while wireless LAN (Wi-Fi communication) functions are being used.
