  • If connection fails, the (FTP connection) icon appears orange. Select MENU →(Network) → [FTP Transfer] → [FTP Transfer Func.] → [Display FTP Error Info.] and check the displayed error details.

Check the status of the connection with the access point, the settings of the FTP server or the camera, etc. Select MENU → (Network) → [FTP Transfer] → [FTP Transfer Func.] → [Display FTP Error Info.] to display the connection error screen again.

Hint

  • When trying to establish an FTP connection via a wireless LAN, if the camera is not emitting radio waves after entering the FTP Power Save mode, etc., the camera will be disconnected from Wi-Fi.
  • If connecting via a wireless LAN, make sure that you are near the registered access point.
  • You can also establish an FTP connection via a wired LAN (USB-LAN) even if [Airplane Mode] is set to [On].

Note

  • When connecting via a wired LAN (USB-LAN) or USB tethering, the Wi-Fi function of the camera cannot be used.
  • When a connection error occurs, check the following.
    • Make sure that the wired LAN cable/USB-LAN conversion adaptor/USB cable is not disconnected and the terminal is inserted correctly.
    • If connecting via a wireless LAN but the registered access point cannot be found, move closer to the registered access point.
    If the cable or adapter becomes disconnected or you turn off the camera while connected via a wired LAN (USB-LAN) or USB tethering, you need to select MENU → (Network) → [USB-LAN/Tethering] → [USB-LAN Connection] or [Tethering Connection] to connect to the FTP server.
