The network function on the camcorder

The camcorder can access the Internet through your provider using a dial-up networking connection with a Bluetooth device. You can view a Web page, and send and receive e-mail with the images recorded with your camcorder attached. Bluetooth specification ver. 1.1 has been adopted for the communication system of the camcorder, and compatible Bluetooth profiles are the “Generic Access Profile” and the “Dial-up Networking Profiles”.

Your camcorder

You can view a Web page via the Internet.

You can send or receive e-mail anytime, and attach images to email messages.

Before using the network function, be sure to set up the clock of the camcorder. The clock is not set up at the default setting. You also have to set up the camcorder and the peripheral device, and make the required registrations (Internet service provider sign-up, etc.)

Overview of the Bluetooth wireless technology

What is the Bluetooth wireless technology?

The Bluetooth wireless technology allows communication between various Bluetooth devices without using cables. Devices which can use this technology include PCs, computer peripheral devices, PDAs, and mobile phones. This omnidirectional communication system enables communication even if the Bluetooth device is in a bag or there are obstacles between the devices. Also, the Bluetooth wireless technology has advanced security functions, such as scrambled frequencies and data encryption.

Authentication

The authentication routine can block unspecified users’ access to this network. When attempting communication with an unregistered Bluetooth device, the devices must first be registered with each other by entering a common passkey to each device. When connecting with a previously registered Bluetooth device, communication starts without entering the passkey.
