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.
Procedures for connecting the camera to a printer via Wi-Fi are explained below. For more information on printer-specific Wi-Fi settings, please refer to the printer’s instruction manual.

The procedure is shown on a PowerShot SX430 IS for the purposes of explanation. The position and shape of the operation buttons, screens displayed, and setting items may differ according to the model you use.
