Solution
You can connect two cameras via Wi-Fi and send images between.
NOTE
- Only Canon-brand cameras equipped with a Wi-Fi function can be connected to wirelessly. Even Canon-brand cameras that support Eye-Fi cards cannot be connected to if they do not have a Wi-Fi function. You cannot connect to PowerShot SD430 DIGITAL ELPH WIRELESS/DIGITAL IXUS WIRELESS cameras with this method.
- Connections require that a memory card be in the camera.
- Keep your fingers or other objects off the Wi-Fi antenna area. Covering this may decrease the speed of your image transfers.
- 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.
- Up to 50 images can be sent together at once. One movie up to five minutes (or one digest movie up to 13 minutes) can be sent.
- On the screen, wireless signal strength is indicated by the following icons.
[
] high, [
] medium, [
] low, [
] weak
