If a Dialog Related to Wi-Fi Connections Is Displayed in
iOS
The SnapBridge app normally connects the camera and smart device via Bluetooth.
However, switch to a Wi-Fi connection when using Download pictures or remote
photography. Depending on the iOS version, you must switch the connection
manually. In such cases, use the following procedure to set the connection.
1 Write down the camera SSID (camera name at
default) and password displayed on the
screen in the smart device, and then tap View
options.
• You can change the SSID or password by using Network
menu M Wi-Fi M Network settings in the camera. To
protect your privacy, we recommend that you change the
password regularly. Disable the wireless connection when
changing the password (A28).
2 Select the SSID you wrote down in step 1 from
the list of connections.
• When you connect for the first time, input the password
you wrote down in step 1 while taking note of uppercase
and lowercase characters. Inputting the password is
unnecessary after the first time connecting.
• The Wi-Fi connection is complete when G is displayed
next to the camera SSID as shown in the screen on the
right. Return to the SnapBridge app and operate the app.
