60 Essential Configuration

(Section 7.4)
Airplane Mode Disables ALL Wi-Fi sending or receiving (even that
of an Eye-Fi card, if inserted) (Section 7.4).
WPS Push Some Wi-Fi access points have a mechanism called
“WPS Push” that makes it easy to pair (to borrow a
Bluetooth term) the camera to the access point. If
yours has it, use this feature to get you going
faster. (Section 7.6)

Wi-Fi Menu 2

Function Setting
Access Point Settings Lets you manually choose which Wi-Fi access point
to connect to. (Section 7.7).
Edit Device Name Change how your camera appears to other Wi-Fi
devices. I shortened mine from the default “ILCA-
77M2” to “A77M2”. (Section 7.8)
Disp MAC Address Every Ethernet device (yes, Wi-Fi is built upon
TCP/IP protocols which in turn is built atop of
Ethernet protocols) has its own globally unique ID.
This function shows it to you. (Section 7.9).
SSID/PW Reset This “unconnects” a previously paired smartphone
or Wi-Fi router (Section 7.10).
Reset Network Set. Kind of self-descriptive. Resets all of the Wi-Fi
settings to factory defaults (ie., a blank slate.)
(Section 7.11)

Playback menu 1

Function Setting
Delete Delete one or many images. (Section 8.1)
View Mode Do you want to view stills, .mp4 videos, or AVCHD
videos? I set DATE VIEW (which means you can
peruse all of these in reverse chronological order).
(Section 8.2)
