    Solution

    You can connect your camera to a printer and print using Wi-Fi.
    When establishing a wireless connection with a printer, you can either use the camera as an access point (Camera Access Point Mode) or use another access point.
    IMPORTANT
    • This camera requires a PrintBridge-compatible printer (supporting DPS over IP) for printing via Wi-Fi.
    • The position and shape of the operation buttons, screens displayed, and setting items may differ according to the model you use.
    NOTE
    • Connections require that a memory card with saved images be in the camera.
    • Follow these instructions when using the camera as an access point.
    To connect using another access point, please refer to Sending images to a computer (Wi-Fi function).
