# Wireless Connection Steps (Newer Cameras)

You can connect the app wirelessly to Sony cameras released after 2020. If your camera is older, you can still connect wirelessly but will follow different [setup steps](/hardware-and-gear/dslr/sony-cameras/wireless-connection-steps-older-cameras.md). 

Any time you move to a new Wi-Fi network, you must follow the full setup steps to reestablish the link between your camera and the iPad. If you have already paired your devices and are staying on the same network, you can bypass the full process by following the "Using a Known Camera" instructions below.

***

#### Connecting a Camera

If you haven't used your Sony camera with our app before, there are additional steps to take to establish the connection. 

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Open the Camera Manager in the HALO app.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
In the camera’s Network Settings 

1. Ensure Access Authentication is disabled
   1. Navigate to MENU → \[Network] → \[Network Option] and set \[Access Authen. Settings] to \[Off].
2. Connect your camera to the same Wi-Fi network as your iPad.
   1. Navigate to MENU → \[Network] → \[Wi-Fi]
   2. Set \[Wi-Fi Connect] to \[On]
   3. Open \[Access Point Settings] and connect to the nearby access point.
3. Navigate to MENU → \[Network] → \[Cnct./Remote Sht.] → \[Remote Shoot Function]
   1. Set \[Remote Shooting] to \[On].
   2. Then, open the \[Paring] menu.
      {% endstep %}

{% step %}
The camera should show up in the HALO app. Tap Connect, then confirm pairing on the camera’s screen.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
HALO connects to the camera, and it is ready to go.

1. When establishing a connection after pairing fails, disable \[Remote Shooting] on the camera, then enable it. Then try to connect again.
   {% endstep %}
   {% endstepper %}

***

#### Using a Known Camera

To use a camera that has already been paired with HALO at least once: 

1. Open the Camera Manager in the HALO app.
2. On the camera, navigate to MENU → \[Network] → \[Cnct./Remote Sht.] → \[Remote Shoot Function] and set \[Remote Shooting] to \[On].
3. When the camera appears in the HALO app, tap Connect.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.simplebooth.com/hardware-and-gear/dslr/sony-cameras/wireless-connection-steps-newer-cameras.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
