With the Remote Browse function, you can use the Web browser on your iOS device, Android device, computer or similar device to show a list of recordings in the camcorder, play them back and even download them. This conveniently allows you to view your recordings while you are out.

NOTE
Depending on the device, OS, browser, movie format and recording mode, you may not be able to play back or download recordings. For details, visit your local Canon Web site.
