    Connecting without an Access Point
    When connecting to a smartphone or printer via Wi-Fi, you can use the 
    camera as an access point (Camera Access Point mode) instead of using 
    another access point.
    Similarly, no access point is used in camera-to-camera connections 
    (=
      102).
    1 Access the Wi-Fi menu 
    (=  94).
    2 Choose the target device.
    zzPress the  buttons to 
    choose the target device, and then press 
    the  button.
    zzTo connect to a smartphone, choose [{].
    zzTo connect to a printer, choose [2]. 
    3 Choose [Add a Device].
    zzPress the  buttons to choose 
    [Add a Device], and then press the  
    button.
    zzThe camera’s SSID is displayed.
    4 Connect the target device to the 
    network.
    zzIn the smartphone or printer’s Wi-Fi 
    setting menu, choose the SSID (network 
    name) displayed on the camera to 
    connect to it.
    5 For a smartphone connection:
    Start CameraWindow.
    zzFor an NFC-compatible Android 
    smartphone (OS version 4.0 or later), 
    activating NFC and touching the 
    smartphone against the camera’s N-Mark 
    (
    , =  91) will start CameraWindow on 
    the smartphone.
    zzFor other smartphones, start 
    CameraWindow on the smartphone.
    zzThe first time CameraWindow is opened, 
    register a smartphone nickname to be 
    displayed on the camera.
    zzOnce the smartphone is recognized on 
    the camera, the device connection screen 
    will be displayed on the camera.
