About the FTP transfer function

You can connect the camera to a network via a wired LAN, wireless LAN, etc., and transfer still images and movies to an FTP server.


By individually configuring the network connection settings and FTP server settings, you can flexibly switch between the following transfer methods according to the shooting environment and data transfer environment.

  • Selecting the type of image to transfer, such as still images/movies, protected images, or yet-to-be-transferred images, and transferring them in a batch
  • Transferring still images automatically during shooting
  • Transferring playback images one by one


You can also choose the type of still-image/movie file to transfer, and save or load settings for the FTP function.

 

Note

  • The wireless access point or wireless router that relays the LAN connection is referred to as the “access point” in this manual.
  • Basic knowledge of FTP servers is required to use the FTP transfer function.
  • The explanations in this manual are based on the assumption that your network or FTP server environment is ready to use. For information on how to prepare the network environment, check with the manufacturer of each device.
  • For details on the camera’s operations, see the “Help Guide” for the camera.
  • If your camera is lost or stolen, Sony bears no responsibility for the loss or damage caused by illegal access or use of the registered access point on the camera.
  • Always make sure that you are using a secure wireless LAN to avoid hacking, access by malicious third parties, or other vulnerabilities.
  • It is important that you set the security settings when using a wireless LAN. If a security problem arises because no security precautions are in place or due to any inevitable circumstances when using a wireless LAN, Sony bears no responsibility for the loss or damage.
