7.10 SSID/PW RESET

What it Does Erases the camera’s memory of your smartphone connection
info

Recommended Setting n/a

I can’t imagine why you would ever need this function. Each time you
invoke the MENU  1  Send to Smartphone or Control w/
Smartphone function the camera connects to the phone, logs on using a
password, and from then on both the phone and the camera remember each
other, making future transfers faster (at least in theory).
Sony’s manual hints that it is necessary to use this function to “forget” the
previous smart phone it was connected to before you connect it to another.
However, in my testing using this feature is entirely optional and you can
hook up to a different smart phone without invoking this feature at all.

7.11 RESET NETWORK SET.

Menu Position MENU  2  Reset Network Set.

What it Does Erases the camera’s memory of your Wi-Fi router for your
computer network

Recommended Setting n/a

This is a handy feature to use before you sell your camera, since just doing
a MENU  6  Setting Reset  Initialize (a system reset) does NOT
erase the SSID names and passwords that have been used in the past.

This resets just the information needed to connect to your home network’s
Wi-Fi access point. For information on how to forget your smartphone
connection info, see the previous section.
