Using as a Remote Camera

You can operate your camcorder remotely from a BIP* compatible computer or PDA with Bluetooth function.

Transferring still images – Image Transport

You can transfer still images between your camcorder and a BIP* compatible computer or PDA with Bluetooth function.

* About BIP (Basic Imaging Profile) The “Basic Imaging Profile” (BIP) is the Bluetooth specification used when transferring images between Bluetooth devices. To connect with your camcorder, the Bluetooth device must be compatible with the “Image Push Feature” or the “Remote Camera Feature” of the “Basic Imaging Profile” (BIP). Before using the Bluetooth device, check the BIP specifications of the device.

For details of Bluetooth Function, see page 24.

Preparation for Network Operation

Registering Bluetooth devices

– DCR-TRV80 only

Before communication

What is Bluetooth wireless technology?

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 connection even if a Bluetooth device is in a bag, for example, or there is an obstacle between 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 you entering the passkey.

Tip on “Passkey”

The passkey is a 1 to 16 character identification number needed to allow two Bluetooth devices to communicate with each other. The connection will be permitted after entering the passkey. This “Passkey” is sometimes referred to as the “Bluetooth passkey”, “PIN”, “Bluetooth PIN”, etc.

Radio wave indication

indicates the radio wave status of the connected Bluetooth device. (Use this

indication as a guide.)

Registering Bluetooth devices

Registering a Bluetooth device

To enable your camcorder to communicate with a Bluetooth device, the devices should be registered with each other. Here we describe how to register the Sony Modem Adaptor with Bluetooth Function. Once registration is complete, you do not have to reregister the Bluetooth device as long as you do not cancel registration. You can register up to three Bluetooth devices to your camcorder. Refer also to the operating instructions supplied with each Bluetooth device.

For details of Bluetooth devices compatible with your camcorder, access the following URL: “http://www.myimagecam.com/”

Using the Modem Adaptor with Bluetooth Function

Connect your camcorder to a Bluetooth device by Bluetooth wireless technology.

Preparation for Network Operation

your camcorder

Notes

•When using Sony BTA-NW1/BTA-NW1A Modem Adaptor with Bluetooth Function, place it so that there are no obstacles between your camcorder and the device. The distance between the devices must be within 10 m (33 feet).

•The connection may be interrupted depending on the communication conditions.

•When your camcorder is connected to a USB device, your camcorder cannot communicate via a Bluetooth device.

•Do not remove the battery pack while your camcorder is communicating with Bluetooth devices. Doing so may cause malfunction of your camcorder.

Customer registration

DI customer registration

Your camcorder offers network functions in addition to its basic functions. To take full advantage of these network functions, you should finish DI (Digital Imaging) customer registration for the services provided. For details of services available, refer to the supplied flyer “Getting Online now with your Sony Network Handycam® camcorder”. Before carrying out DI customer registration, see “Online Privacy Policy” on page 151 and agree to the terms. For the latest information, refer to “http://www.sel.sony.com/ SEL/legal/privacy.html”.

You can carry out DI customer registration in one of the following ways:

1 Online registration with a computer (recommended) 2 Online registration with your camcorder

When you finish your DI customer registration, your DI customer ID and password are issued immediately.

Tip

After DI customer registration, you can continue to register your Album on the Web and “So-net”.

Online registration with a computer

You can carry out customer registration with a computer. The URL of the web site for online registration is “http://www.myimagecam.com/”.

Tip

We recommend online registration with a computer if you have a computer and you do not want to input many characters on your camcorder.

Online registration with your camcorder

You can carry out DI customer registration with your camcorder. For online registration with your camcorder, you must use a private line. Since the registration process is assigned a toll-free telephone number, the telephone charge for online registration will not be added to your telephone bill if you use a dial-up connection.

Notes

•Set up your camcorder and a communication device so that they are communicating

with each other beforehand. For details, refer to the operating instructions of the communication device.

•It may take a while to finish online registration.

•Use the AC Adaptor when registering online with your camcorder.

•Be sure to set the clock of your camcorder beforehand. For details, refer to “Setting the

date and time” in the operating instructions supplied with your camcorder.

•If you use a LAN connection, you may need to perform certain settings before
