Connecting to the Internet via USB Tethering

You can connect the unit to a smartphone via a USB cable, and then connect to the Internet using the smartphone.

  1. Turn the unit on.

  2. Press the NETWORK button.

    The [Network] status screen appears.

    Hint

    • You can also press the MENU button and scroll the screen to display the status.
  3. Set [USB Tethering] – [Setting] to [On].
  4. Connect the unit and smartphone via a USB cable.

  5. Enable tethering communication on the smartphone.

    For details, refer to the operation manual for the smartphone.

    The unit connects to the Internet.

Hint

  • To use “Monitor & Control,” “Creators' App for enterprise,” or the “Camera Remote SDK” to control the unit from an external device, set [USB Tethering] – [Remote] to [Enable] on the [Network] status screen.
  • Press the [Show Authentication] button on the [Network] status screen to display the authentication information for connecting to the unit. Take care that the screen cannot be viewed and the QR code image cannot be copied by others.

Note

  • If a message prompting you to connect via USB appears when a USB cable is connected, press the [Cancel] button, not the [OK] button.
  • If a message indicating that connection via USB has initiated appears on a black screen, remove the USB cable to return to the shooting screen, set USB tethering to [On] and then connect the USB cable.
  • USB tethering cannot be used if the smartphone is connected via a USB hub.
