If the camera is connected via Wi-Fi to a wireless router, computers connected to the router can use installed tethered shooting software to take pictures remotely over the Wi-Fi connection.
Adjust Wi-Fi settings in the camera menus.
Select AUTO or MANUAL for CONNECTION SETTING > NETWORK SETTING > WIRELESS IP ADDRESS SETTING.
If you chose MANUAL, select an IP address (IP ADDRESS), network mask (NETMASK), and gateway address (GATEWAY ADDRESS).
Check whether the router is equipped with a WPS button. If it is, proceed to “Simple Setup”. If it is not, proceed to “Manual Setup” instead.
The camera must connect to the router during the prep stage to configure the network connection. Be sure the router is on and ready to connect.
If the router is equipped with a WPS button, you will be able to connect to the network without entering a password or adjusting other network settings.
Before proceeding, check that the camera and Wi-Fi router are on.
In the camera menus, go to CONNECTION SETTING > NETWORK SETTING > WIRELESS ACCESS POINT SETTING, highlight SIMPLE SETUP, and press MENU/OK.
The camera will display a message prompting you to press the WPS button on the router.
Press and hold the router WPS button until the WPS lamp starts to flash.
This step must be completed within two minutes of your selecting SIMPLE SETUP in the camera menus.
When the camera connects to the router, press MENU/OK.
To connect using a PIN, press the selector up in Step 1. The camera’s WPS PIN will be displayed; to connect, you must enter the same PIN on the router as described in the router documentation.
Before proceeding, check that the camera and Wi-Fi router are on.
To connect manually to a network by entering the network name (SSID) or choosing from a list of the networks detected by the camera, go to CONNECTION SETTING > NETWORK SETTING > WIRELESS ACCESS POINT SETTING in the camera menus, highlight MANUAL SETUP, and press MENU/OK.
Choose how the camera connects to the wireless router.
Highlight SELECT FROM NETWORK LIST and press MENU/OK.
The camera will start searching for wireless networks.
If no networks are detected, the camera will display an error and return to shooting or playback.
Highlight a network and press MENU/OK.
A

In the camera menus, select CONNECTION SETTING > CONNECTION MODE > WIRELESS TETHER SHOOTING FIXED. The camera will connect to the Wi-Fi network selected in “Connecting the Camera and Router via Wi-Fi” and wait for a connection from the tethered shooting software installed on the computer.
Launch the tethered shooting software on your computer and select Preferences > Camera Search > Network. If the camera and computer are on the same network, select Search within the segment.
If the camera and computer are on different networks, go to CONNECTION SETTING > NETWORK SETTING > WIRELESS IP ADDRESS SETTING in the camera menus, check the camera’s IP address, and then select Specified IP address on the computer and enter the IP address.
Connections via a router that has NAT or IP Masquerade enabled are not supported.
At default settings, pictures taken with the camera during wireless tethered photography are not saved to the camera memory card. Use the file format option in the tethered shooting software to choose the file type.

Uploading Pictures
Wi-Fi connections conform to IEEE 802.11b/g/n standard and are slower than USB. Given the extremely long times required, we recommended that you do not attempt to upload RAW images or other large files via Wi-Fi.
Place the camera as close as possible to the router. Distances of no more than a few meters are recommended.
