Using the NETWORK functions

There are three Network functions, namely album on the Web, email, and browser. To use the album on the Web and So-net, you need to complete customer registration.

“So-net” is charged service. For more information, see the supplied flyer “Getting Online with your Sony Network Handycam® camcorder”.

To fully use the function in the NETWORK mode, you have to complete the following registrations and setup tasks via your camcorder:

1 Bluetooth device registration (p. 20) 2 DI customer registration (p. 28) 3 Album registration (p. 31) 4 So-net registration* (p. 33) 5 Network Setup (p. 34)

* So-net registration is not necessary to use the other provider.

The above registrations can also be done on the web site using a computer. Access to the following URL: “http://www.myimagecam.com/”

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 having 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.

Preparation

Overview of the Bluetooth wireless technology

Registering a Bluetooth device

This section describes making a registration of a Bluetooth device. Here we describe the procedure for registering the Sony Modem Adaptor with Bluetooth Function. Once the registration is completed, your camcorder can connect to your Bluetooth device without reregistering the device. You can register up to three Bluetooth devices. Also, refer to the operating instructions supplied with your Bluetooth device.

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

Notes

•When using Sony BTA-NW1/BTA-NW1A Modem Adaptor with Bluetooth Function, place it at a location that has 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.
