Abstract
In an imaging device having a wireless module, an increase in undesired power consumption is inhibited, and a time required before establishment of a communications channel with a wireless terminal is shortened. In response to depression of a playback button performed by user by way of an operation section, a control section performs a pre-scan by way of a wireless module before a main scan responding to a request for wireless connection. When having received a request for wireless connection, the control section accepts designation of a wireless terminal serving as a destination of transmission from the user by utilization of a result of the pre-scan prior to a result of the main scan responding to the request for wireless connection.
