Question Answer
What smartphones support Wi-Fi connections with
the camera?
Android and iOS smartphones support Wi-Fi connections with the
camera.
Compatible OS: Android 2.2 - Android 4.2
iOS 4.3 - iOS 6.1
Do I need a special app to use Wi-Fi connections? Your smartphone will need the “Panasonic Image App” to perform
the various operations on the camera.
I would like to establish a Wi-Fi connection with my
tablet.
You can establish a Wi-Fi connection with a tablet the same way
you do with a smartphone. Compatible OS’s and other details are
the same as with smartphones.
I would like to upload recorded pictures to a social
networking service right after taking them. How
can I do that?
We recommend sending the pictures to your smartphone and
uploading them from the smartphone.
Are there any communication fees? If you are only sending pictures directly from the camera to
your smartphone, there are no communication fees. However,
transferring pictures or downloading apps over mobile networks
may incur high packet communication fees, depending on the
details of your contract.
How do I connect to a PC? You can connect to a PC through a wireless access point (wireless
LAN router, etc.) in the home.∗
I am having a problem connecting to my
Windows 8 PC. The user name and password are
not recognized.
Windows 8 uses 2 different sign on accounts, “User” and “Local”.
Be sure to use the Local account name and password.
The Wi-Fi connection is not recognizing my PC. By default, the Wi-Fi connection uses the default “WORKGROUP”
PC name. If your PC was renamed, please change the name in the
[Wi-Fi Setup] menu to match your PC’s name.∗
Can the camera connect to a Wi-Fi hotspot in a
station or a shop?
The camera cannot connect to public wireless LAN services (so-
called Wi-Fi hotspots).
How do I secure my wireless network? The camera uses WPA and WPA2 security.
