 Network Options
The camera can be connected to Ethernet or wireless networks
using the built-in Ethernet port or an optional WT-6 or WT-5
wireless transmitter (note that an Ethernet cable — available
separately from commercial sources — is required for an Ethernet
connection). Choose from the following connection modes:

Camera Control Pro 2 software and save new
(018)
photos and movies directly to the computer.
HTTP server View and take pictures remotely using a browser-
(021) equipped computer or smart device.
Synchronized release Synchronize the shutter releases for multiple
(wireless only; 049) remote cameras with a master camera.

A Ethernet Connection
Ethernet connections require no adjustments to wireless LAN settings.
A FTP Servers
Servers can be configured using standard ftp services available with
supported operating systems, such as IIS (Internet Information
Services). Internet ftp connections and connection to ftp servers
running third-party software are not supported.
A HTTP Sever Mode
Internet connections are not supported in http server mode.
2
A Routers
Connection to computers on other networks via a router is not
supported.
A Firewall Settings
