Wireless Transfer and Printing
Wireless transfer is available with computers running Windows XP Home Edition/
Windows XP Professional Service Pack 1 or later (Service Pack 2 or later recom-
mended) or Mac OS X version 10.3 or later. To confi gure the camera for use with
the wireless network, you will also need the Wireless Camera Setup Utility, which is
installed with Picture Project; see the Quick Start Guide and the PictureProject Refer-
ence Manual (on CD) for installation instructions.
Wireless Transfer and Printing
Using the camera’s built-in IEEE 802.11b/g wireless transmitter, you can:
• Transmit pictures to a computer for storage and editing ( 00–00)
• Save pictures directly to the computer hard disk as they are taken ( 00)
• Print pictures on a printer connected to a wireless network ( 00)
To prevent the camera from turning off unexpectedly during transmission, use the
supplied AC adapter.
Connecting to a Wireless Network
Wireless transfer and printing requires a wireless local-area network (LAN) compat-
ible with the IEEE 802.11b/g standard. The network can consist of the camera in
peer-to-peer communication with a single computer equipped with a wireless LAN
adapter (ad-hoc mode) or of a camera connected to a wireless network via a wire-
less LAN access point (infrastructure mode).

Wireless Network Settings (Windows and Macintosh)
The Wireless Camera Setup Utility may require information on some or all of the
following wireless network settings:
Item Description
Network name
(SSID)
(required)
The name of the wireless network. Note that the camera will connect only
to the device selected in the profi le list ( 00), even if another network exists
with the same SS-ID.
Type
(required)
• Ad-hoc: The network is ad-hoc if it consists of the camera and a computer
with a built-in wireless or a wireless LAN adapter.
• Infrastructure: Infrastructure networks include a wireless access point con-
nected to a local-area network.
Channel The channel used by the computer for peer-to-peer wireless communication
(ad-hoc networks only).
Authentication
The type of authentication used by the computer or access point. The cam-
era supports WP-PSK (infrastructure mode only), open system, and shared key
authentication.
Data
encryption
The type of encryption (if any) used on the network. Depending on the au-
thentication used, the camera supports the following types of encryption:
• Open system: none, WEP
• Shared key: WEP
• WP-PSK: TKIP
Key type If the network uses WEP encryption, note whether the key is base 16 or
ASCII.
Network key If the network uses TKIP or WEP encryption, note the network key.
Key index In infrastructure networks that use WEP encryption, note the access point key
index. The default index is 1.
Address type
(required)
Note whether the network is confi gured to supply IP address automatically
or manually.
IP address If the network is confi gured for manual IP addresses, note the IP address that
will be assigned to the camera.

If the wireless network uses MAC address fi ltering, you will need to supply the fi lter with the
camera’s MAC address. Choose Firmware version from the camera setup menu and note
the camera MAC address.
Port Numbers
The camera uses UDP port 5353 and TCP port 15740. If you are using a fi rewall, you will need
to confi gure it to leave these ports open.

the camera is connected. In addition, the Wireless Camera
Setup Utility must be installed on any computer to which pic-
tures are transferred. The camera can store up to nine profi les
for diff erent computers or printers; before additional profi les
can be created, existing profi les must be deleted. To view
existing profi les, connect the camera and start the Wireless
Camera Setup Utility as described on the preceding pages,
and then select the “Profi les” tab. Profi les selected in the “Pro-
fi les” tab can be edited, renamed, or deleted using the De-
tails, Rename, and Delete buttons.

Best Shot Selector (BSS)
BSS is recommended for situations in which inadvertent camera movement can
produce blurred pictures, or when parts of the image are prone to under- or over-
exposure. It may not produce the desired results if the subject moves or the com-
position is changed while the shutter-release button is fully pressed.
Option Description
Off BSS off .
On
Camera takes shots while shutter-release button is pressed, to a maximum
of ten. These images are then compared and sharpest picture (picture
with highest level of detail) is saved. Flash turns off automatically and
focus, exposure, and white balance for all photos are determined by fi rst
picture in each series.
Exposure
BSS
Selecting this option displays sub-menu shown at
right. Choose from:
• Highlight BSS: picture with smallest area of over-
exposure is selected.
• Shadow BSS: picture with smallest area of un-
derexposure is selected.
• Histogram BSS: of pictures with least under- and over-exposure, cam-
era chooses picture with overall exposure closest to optimum.
Camera takes fi ve shots each time shutter-release button is pressed, but
only picture that best meets selected criterion is saved. Flash turns off
automatically and focus and white balance for all photos are determined
by fi rst picture in each series. Recommended for high-contrast subjects,
when it is diffi cult to set exposure correctly.
At settings other than Off , the current BSS setting appears in the display ( 6–7).
ISO Sensitivity
ISO sensitivity is a measure of how quickly the camera reacts to light. The higher
the sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure. Much as fi lm with a high
ISO rating tends to produce “grainy” images, high sensitivities may however be as-
sociated with “noise”—randomly spaced, brightly colored pixels concentrated in
dark parts of the image. Choose from values between ISO 50 and 400 equivalent.
Auto is equivalent to ISO 50 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor and
the fl ash is off , the camera compensates by raising ISO sensitivity to a maximum of
ISO 200 equivalent.
The current ISO sensitivity is displayed in the monitor at settings other than Auto
( 6–7). If Auto is selected, an ISO icon will be displayed when sensitivity is raised
above ISO 50 equivalent.
