and also what other things you can do with these cameras to connect applications and how to get full-resolution HD images.

in this article, I am talking about how to set up a WI-FI setting for your canon camera connect an application to transfer images.

and this application works the same as Nikon(use Nikon’s application ) which is available on playstore.

First of all WI-FI, we know the proper meaning of WI-FI.

In this article I’m using the Canon 1300D as an example, this camera contains these types of functionality.

now without talking more about it, let’s get started…

Here are easy steps you need to follow to transfer photos from canon camera connect app to your phone using WIFI…

  1. Enable WI-FI/NFC option on your camera
