Wi-Fi (Wireless LAN) Precautions
 ●Countries and Regions Permitting WLAN Use
 - Use of WLAN is restricted in some countries and regions, and illegal 
use may be punishable under national or local regulations. To avoid 
violating WLAN regulations, visit the Canon website to check where 
use is allowed.   
Note that Canon cannot be held liable for any problems arising from 
use in other countries and regions.
 ● Doing any of the following may incur legal penalties:
 - Altering or modifying the product
 - Removing the certification labels from the product
 ●According to foreign exchange and foreign trade law regulations, 
export permission (or service transaction permission) from the 
Japanese government is necessary to export strategic resources or 
services (including this product) outside Japan.
 ●Because this product includes American encryption software, it falls 
under U.S. Export Administration Regulations, and cannot be exported 
to or brought into a country under U.S. trade embargo.
 ●Be sure to make notes of the wireless LAN settings you use.   
The wireless LAN settings saved to this product may change or be 
erased due to incorrect operation of the product, the effects of radio 
waves or static electricity, or accident or malfunction. Be sure to make 
notes of wireless LAN settings as a precaution. Please note that 
Canon accepts no responsibility for direct or indirect damages or loss 
of earnings resulting from a degradation or disappearance of content.
 ● When transferring this product to another person, disposing of it, or 
sending it for repair, be sure to note the wireless LAN settings and 
reset the product to its default settings (erase settings) if necessary .
 ●Canon will not make compensation for damages resulting from loss or 
theft of the product.  
Canon accepts no responsibility for damages or loss resulting from 
unauthorized access or use of target devices registered on this 
product due to loss or theft of the product.
 ●Be sure to use the product as directed in this guide.   
Be sure to use the wireless LAN function of this product within the 
guidelines noted in this guide. Canon accepts no responsibility for 
damages or loss if the function and product are used in ways other 
than as described in this guide.
 ● Do not use the wireless LAN function of this product near medical 
equipment or other electronic equipment.   
Use of the wireless LAN function near medical equipment or other 
electronic equipment may affect operation of those devices.
Radio Wave Interference Precautions
 ● This product may receive interference from other devices that emit 
radio waves. To avoid interference, be sure to use this product as far 
away as possible from such devices, or avoid using the devices at the 
same time as this product.
Security Precautions
Because Wi-Fi uses radio waves to transmit signals, security precautions 
more stringent than when using a LAN cable are required.

 ●Only use networks you are authorized to use.   
This product searches for Wi-Fi networks in the vicinity and displays 
the results on the screen. Networks you are not authorized to use 
(unknown networks) may also be displayed. However, attempting to 
connect to or using such networks could be regarded as unauthorized 
access. Be sure to use only networks you are authorized to use, and 
do not attempt to connect to other unknown networks.

Disclaimer
 ● Unauthorized reproduction of this guide is prohibited.
 ●All measurements based on Canon testing standards.
 ●Information subject to change without notice, as are product 
specifications and appearance.
 ●Illustrations and screenshots in this guide may differ slightly from the 
actual equipment.
 ●The above items notwithstanding, Canon cannot be held liable for any 
loss arising from the use of this product.
If security settings have not been properly set, the following problems may 
occur.
 ●
Transmission monitoring  
Third parties with malicious intent may monitor Wi-Fi transmissions 
and attempt to acquire the data you are sending.
 ● Unauthorized network access  
Third parties with malicious intent may gain unauthorized access to 
the network you are using to steal, modify, or destroy information. 
Additionally, you could fall victim to other types of unauthorized access 
such as impersonation (where someone assumes an identity to gain 
access to unauthorized information) or springboard attacks (where 
someone gains unauthorized access to your network as a springboard 
to cover their tracks when infiltrating other systems).
T

o prevent these types of problems from occurring, be sure to thoroughly 
secure your Wi-Fi network.
Only use this camera’s Wi-Fi function with a proper understanding of 
Wi-Fi security, and balance risk and convenience when adjusting security 
settings.
The camera can print to PictBridge-compatible printers 
via Wi-Fi. PictBridge technical standards make it easy 
to connect digital cameras, printers, and other devices 
directly. Additionally, a new standard called DPS 
over IP enables PictBridge connections in network 
environments, and the camera is also compatible with 
this standard.
