Getting Started
Connect two cameras via Wi-Fi and send and receive images between them as follows.
Only Wi-Fi compatible Canon cameras can be connected via Wi-Fi. You cannot connect to a Canon camera unless it is Wi-Fi compatible, even if it supports Eye-Fi cards.
Caution
Depending on the condition of the network you are using, it may take a long time to send movies. Be sure to keep an eye on the camera battery level.
For movies that you do not compress, a separate, compressed file is sent instead of the original file. Note that this may delay transmission, and the file cannot be sent unless there is enough space for it on the memory card.
On the screen, wireless signal strength is indicated by the following icons.
[
] high, [
] medium, [
] low, [
] weak
