Notes on Sending Images
 ●Keep your fingers or other objects off the Wi-Fi antenna area 
(= 4). 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. However , 
Web services may limit the number of images or length of movies you 
can send. For details, refer to the Web service you are using.
 ● For movies that you do not compress ( = 125), 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.
 ● When sending movies to smartphones, note that the supported image 
quality varies depending on the smartphone. For details, refer to the 
smartphone user manual.
 ●On the screen, wireless signal strength is indicated by the following 
icons.  
[
] high, [] medium, [] low, [] weak
 ●Sending images to Web services will take less time when resending 
images you have already sent that are still on the CANON iMAGE 
GATEWAY

 server.

Using a Smartphone to View Camera 
Images and Control the Camera
You can do the following with the dedicated smartphone app 
CameraWindow.
 ●Browse images on the camera and save them to the smartphone
 ●Geotag images on the camera ( = 147)
 ●
Shoot remotely ( = 148)
 ●
In camera settings, the smartphone must be allowed to view 
camera images ( = 128, = 130, = 149).
Geotagging Images on the Camera
GPS data recorded on a smartphone using the dedicated CameraWindow 
application can be added to images on the camera. Images are tagged 
with information including the latitude, longitude, and elevation.
 ●
Before shooting, make sure the date and time and your home 
time zone are set correctly, as described in “Setting the Date and 
Time” ( =
 20). Also follow the steps in “World Clock” ( = 152) 
to specify any shooting destinations in other time zones.
 ● Others may be able to 

locate or identify you by using location data 
in your geotagged still images or movies. Be careful when sharing 
these images with others, as when posting images online where 
many others can view them.
 ● Even if images were imported to the computer through a different 
method, any images not sent to the computer via CANON iMAGE 
GATEWAY
 will be sent to the computer.
 ●Sending is faster when the destination is a computer on the same 
network as the camera, because images are sent via the access 
point instead of CANON iMAGE GATEWAY. Note that images 
stored on the computer are sent to CANON iMAGE GA

TEWAY, so 
the computer must be connected to the Internet.
