I used to have no trouble sending photos to my smartphone using the camera’s wifi. Recently this hasn’t been working, with the the camera never getting beyond ‘Start dedicated app on target device’. I’ve updated the Canon Camera Connect app, installed it on other devices and reset the camera’s wifi settings but nothing has worked. Any suggestions as to what would be wrong?
I think I figured this out. When you click on your wifi and then click on the connect phone. it will start to search for wifi. Click the swich network option. Here you can select “Camera Access Point Mode.” This basically makes you camera a hot spot. From that point, go into your phones wifi settings. You should see your camera listed as one of the networks. Select it. The app should allow you to access the Images on your camera now.
