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.

server.
In preparation, enable smartphone access as follows.
 ●Make sure you have completed the settings described in “Preparing 
the Computer” ( = 162).
 ●
Download and install the Canon Online Photo Album app for iPhones 
or iPads from the App Store or for Android devices from Google Play.

downloading in Image Sync settings cannot be accessed this way.
 ●For Canon Online Photo Album instructions, refer to Canon 
Online Photo Album Help.
Sending Images
Images sent from the camera are automatically saved to the computer.
If the computer that you intend to send images to is turned off, the images 
will be stored temporarily on the CANON iMAGE GATEWAY server. 
Stored images are regularly erased, so make sure to turn on the computer\
 
and save the images.

 zFollow steps 1 – 2 in “Uploading Images to 
Web Services” ( = 156) and choose [].
 z
Sent images are labeled with a [] icon.

services from the CANON iMAGE 
GATEWAY server, even if the computer 
is off.
 ● Using a fully charged battery pack is recommended when sending 
images.
 ●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 GATEWAY, so 
the computer must be connected to the Internet.

 ●Formatting or erasing data on a memory card only changes file 
management information on the card and does not erase the data 
completely. When transferring or disposing of memory cards, 
take steps to protect personal information if necessary, such as 
physically destroying the cards.
 ●The total card capacity indicated on the formatting screen may be 
less than the advertised capacity.
Low-Level Formatting
Perform low-level formatting in the following cases: [Memory card error]\
 is 
displayed, the camera is not working correctly, card image reading/writing 
is slower, continuous shooting is slower, or movie recording suddenly 
stops. Low-level formatting erases all data on a memory card. Before low\

level formatting, copy images on the memory card to a computer, or take 
other steps to back them up.

Cards” ( = 169), because data is erased from all storage regions 
of the memory card.
 ● You can cancel low-level formatting in progress by choosing 
[Stop]. In this case, all data will be erased, but the memory card 
can be used normally.
 ●Regardless of the option selected in this setting, shots may be 
numbered consecutively after the last number of existing images 
on newly inserted memory cards. To start saving shots from 0001, 
use an empty (or formatted,  =
 169) memory card.
