    Saving Images to a Connected Computer
    Connect to your access point via Wi-Fi as follows.
    Also refer to the access point user manual.
    Confirming Access Point Compatibility
    Confirm that the Wi-Fi router or base station conforms to the Wi-Fi 
    standards in “Wi-Fi” (= 133).
    Connection methods vary depending on whether the access point 
    supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS,  =
     89) or not (= 91). For 
    non-WPS access points, check the following information.
     ● Network name (SSID/ESSID) 
    The SSID or ESSID for the access point you use. Also called the 
    “access point name” or “network name”.
     ●Network authentication / data encryption (encryption method / 
    encryption mode) 
    The method for encrypting data during wireless transmission. Check 
    which security setting is used: WPA2-PSK (AES), WPA2-PSK 
    (TKIP), WP
    
    A-PSK (AES), WPA-PSK (TKIP), WEP (open system 
    authentication), or no security.
     ● Password (encryption key / network key) 
    The key used when encrypting data during wireless transmission. Also 
    called the “encryption key” or “network key”.
     ●Key index (transmit key) 
    The key set when WEP is used for network authentication / data 
    encryption. Use “1” as the setting.
     ● If system administrator status is needed to adjust network 
    settings, contact the system administrator for details.
     ●These settings are very important for network security. Exercise 
    adequate caution when changing these settings.
    Configuring the Computer for a Wi-Fi Connection 
    (Windows Only)
    On a computer running Windows, configure the following settings before 
    connecting the camera to the computer wirelessly.
    1 Confirm that the computer is 
    connected to an access point.
     ●For instructions on checking your network 
    connection, refer to the computer user 
    manual.
    2 Configure the setting.
     ●Click in the following order: [Start] menu 
    > [All Programs] > [Canon Utilities] > 
    [CameraWindow] > [Wi-Fi connection 
    setup].

    on-screen instructions and configure the 
    setting.
     ● The following Windows settings are configured when you run the 
    utility in step 2.
     -Turn on media streaming. 
    This will enable the camera to see (find) the computer to access 
    via Wi-Fi.
     -Turn on network discovery. 
    This will enable the computer to see (find) the camera.
     -Turn on ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol).
    
     
    This allows you to check the network connection status.
     - Enable Universal Plug & Play (UPnP).
