In this video, we'll show you how to connect your Canon
PowerShot digital camera to your
compatible Android™ device.
With built-in Wi-Fi® technology, you can easily share photos and videos
from your camera to your Android® device.
We recommend using Camera Access Point
mode, which allows you to connect your
camera directly to your mobile device
without the need for a wireless router.
Let's get started.
First, let's download the Canon Camera
Connect app on your Android™ device.
Find and tap the Google Play Store® icon.
In the search box, type Canon Camera Connect.
Then tap Search.
Tap install,
and follow any on-screen
instructions to complete the installation
Now, let's connect your camera.
Please make sure the camera's date and time are
correctly set up, and a memory card is inserted in the
camera before proceeding.
Please note, the Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III
has a touchscreen function, however,
for this video, we'll be using the Set
button and the Multi-controller to make selections.
Make sure the camera is powered on,
then press the Menu button.
Go to the purple wireless settings menu.
Make sure Wi-Fi settings is set to Enable.
Then select Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connection.
In the Wi-Fi function menu, select
Connect to smartphone.
Then, select Add a device to connect to.
Since we already installed the Canon
Camera Connect app earlier, select Do not display.
In the Connect to smartphone menu,
select Connect via Wi-Fi.
The camera's SSID and password will be
displayed.
On your Android™ device go to your Wi-Fi® settings.
Find and select the network name or SSID
displayed on the camera.
Then, enter the password, which is also
displayed on the camera.
And tap Connect.
Once the device is connected,
return to the home screen on your
Android™ device
and open the Canon Camera Connect app.
The following screens will appear.
Read the agreements, and if you agree to the terms, tap Agree to continue.
When you first run the app, you may be
asked to grant permission for the app to
access photos, media, and files on your device, as
well as your device's location.
Tap Allow to grant the app access to your photos.
Granting the app your device's location is optional.
On the camera connect welcome screen, tap Skip.
then tap Start.
The Camera Connect welcome screen will
only appear once the first time you open the app.
When this screen appears, select your camera.
When you see this screen on the camera, select OK.
You can now send images from your camera to your Android™ device.
Using the Canon Camera Connect app on
your Android™ device,
tap Images on camera.
Tap the gear on the upper right to
access the Camera Image List Settings.
Review the options.
When you're done making your selections,
tap the X icon in the upper right.
Tap Select.
Then, choose the images that you'd like to transfer.
Once your images are selected, tap this
icon.
A resize option screen will be displayed
if you left the option
'Select when saving' selected in the
Camera Image List Settings.
Choose an option, and then tap OK.
Your photos will now be transferred and saved to your Android™ device.
After the images have been saved,
tap the X icon in the upper right of the screen.
Then, tap the left arrow icon in the
upper left to return to the menu screen.
To end the connection, tap the X icon in
the upper right of the screen.
Then tap Yes.
If you need to reconnect
your camera to your mobile device,
there's no need to complete pairing
again if you'll continue using the
camera and the mobile device together
Again, go to the purple wireless settings
menu and select Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connection.
Select the name of the mobile device that you'd like to connect to.
Your Android™ device will pair
automatically with the camera.
Launch the Camera Connect app and the
camera will connect automatically.
If the camera did not automatically
connect, follow these steps.
On your Android™ device, go to your Wi-Fi® settings.
Select and connect to the network name or SSID
that you previously used with the camera.
Open the Canon Camera Connect app.
Your camera will appear at the top of the home screen.
You can now send images from your camera to your Android™ device.
If you lose Wi-Fi® connection because of an updated
operating system or an app
update, performing a wireless settings
reset may resolve the problem.
Press the Menu button and go to the purple wireless settings menu.
Select Clear wireless settings.
Then select OK.
Wireless communication will reset back
to the default settings.
