Preparation

—

Before You Use the Wireless Connection

This section explains the preparations to make before you use the wireless connection.

Start by checking your computer's operating environment.

Checking Your Computer's Operating Environment

Operating System

The wireless feature can only used with Macintosh computers that come with Mac OS X v10.4

or later pre-installed. Please note it cannot be used with Macintosh computers equipped with

Intel processors.

Environment Required for the Wireless Networking Function

Either of the following two configurations is required to use the wireless feature.

• The computer has built-in wireless networking (e.g. built-in AirPort networking, built-in

wireless LAN card, such as an AirPort card)

• A wireless LAN router, such as an AirPort Base Station, is connected to the computer

Using the Wireless Networking Function

Use the Wireless Networking Function

Connect the camera and computer over the wireless

connection and download camera images to the

computer or print them. See Actions Possible with the

Camera Connected to a Computer (p. 21) for the

features that can be used over a wireless connection.

The procedures in the "Preparation" and "Registering the Target Device" sections

are performed the first time you make a wireless connection. Thereafter, only the

procedures in the "Using the Wireless Networking Function" section are required.

The firewall settings in your security software may prevent the camera and

computer from connecting. See Firewalls (p. 23).

Checking Your Wireless Connection Configuration

The method for connecting the camera to the computer will vary according to your computer's

wireless connection configuration. See the following diagram and confirm that your

configuration uses connection method or .

and Computer



Add the camera to the wireless

network in use.

Create a new network for the camera

and computer.

Check the settings for your wireless

network and note them in the

checklist (p. 6).

Connecting a camera and computer

via an access point, such as a wireless

LAN router, is called an

"infrastructure connection".

Connecting a camera and computer

directly in a 1:1 connection is called

an "ad hoc connection".

•A router is a device for connecting several computers or other equipment in a

network (LAN). A router with built-in wireless networking is called a wireless LAN

router.

• See your computer's user guide if you are uncertain about its operating system.

Checking Your Wireless Network Configuration (Configuration Only)

If you are already using a wireless network, check the following settings and note them in the

checklist.

If you are using an AirPort network, you can check each setting in the AirPort Admin Utility.

• If you are configuring a network managed by a system administrator, obtain

the network settings information from the network administrator.

• An encryption key is an important asset. Manage it securely so that no one

else can learn what it is.

• See the user guide for your wireless LAN router for details on checking the

settings.

Checklist

• Network Name (SSID, ESSID) Please enter the name assigned to

the wireless network you are using.

• Network Authentication/Data

 WEP (Shared Key)

 WPA-PSK-TKIP

 WPA-PSK-AES

"Network Authentication/Data

Encryption" is the encryption method

for data during a wireless

transmission.

Enter a check mark beside the

method used by your wireless

network.

If you are using an AirPort network,

check the wireless utility settings and

select the following.

•[None] or [Do not use] [Disabled]

If a setting other than the above is

selected, the camera will not be able

to connect to the wireless network.

Reset it with one of the options

above.

• Encryption Key (Network Key) The Encryption Key is the key used to

encrypt data during a wireless

transmission. Confirm the key used in

your wireless network. (Be extremely

careful in handling it since it is vital

information.)

If you are using an AirPort network,

enter the password you set for the

network as the Encryption Key.

Check If Required Software Is Installed

Before configuring the wireless settings, confirm that the following software has been

installed.

Checking if the Software Supplied with the Camera Has Been Installed

Registering the Target Device with the Camera

Attach the camera to the computer using the interface cable and register the target device

(computer to be connected wirelessly) with the camera. Register the target device using the

Camera Wireless Setup program (a wireless configuration utility). This step is only required the

first time you register a target device.

If your wireless network is already in use, confirm that the computer and router are

correctly connected and that the router's wireless settings are correctly configured.

If there is a 1:1 direct connection between the camera and computer, confirm

that the computer's wireless networking function is working.

2Attach the supplied interface cable to the

computer's USB port and the camera's

DIGITAL terminal.

3Turn on the camera and set it to the playback

mode.

The camera's (Print/Share) button will light

blue. It will not light up if the memory card in the

camera does not contain any images.

Before you register the target device, update the camera firmware (software

inside the camera) to the latest version. Download the firmware upgrade

from the same website you downloaded this guide from. Also refer to the

website for instructions on updating the camera's firmware.

• The camera cannot connect wirelessly to computers that have not been

registered as target devices.

• The camera can register up to 7 devices.
