correctly.

restore the connection.

Cannot save MP4 movies or photos on my computer
- When the memory card contains too many MP4 movies and photos combined (Windows –
2,500 or more, Mac OS – 1,000 or more), you may not be able to transfer photos to a computer.
Try using a card reader to transfer the photos on the memory card.
Wi-Fi Functions
Refer also to the instruction manual of your access point and other devices you will use.
Cannot connect with the access point.
- Check that the access point is working correctly.
- The effective communication range between the camcorder and access point may vary
depending on the strength of the wireless signal. Try using the camcorder closer to the access
point.
- Cordless phones, microwave ovens, refrigerators and other appliances in the line of sight
between the access point and the camcorder may interfere with the wireless signal. Try using
the camcorder in a location farther away from such appliances.
- Wi-Fi networks with a stealth function that do not broadcast their network name (SSID) will not
be detected by the camcorder during the Wi-Fi network setup. Perform the setup manually
