83: Wireless LAN connection terminated because of high WFT temperature

Due to transmitter temperature rise, wireless operation has temporarily stopped and the wireless LAN connection has been terminated.

Allow the transmitter to cool down (for example, by shielding it from direct sunlight). When the transmitter cools down, the connection will be automatically re-established.

91: Other error

A problem other than error code number 11 to 83 occurred. Turn off and on the camera's power switch.

Troubleshooting Guide

If a problem occurs, first refer to this Troubleshooting Guide to check the camera and connected device. If this Troubleshooting Guide does not resolve the problem, contact the nearest Canon Service Center.

Cannot transfer images to an FTP server.

- To transfer captured images to an FTP server, set the Live View shooting/Movie shooting switch to <icon>. When the Live View shooting/Movie shooting switch is set to <icon>, images cannot be transferred.

Cannot perform linked shooting.

- To perform linked shooting, set the Live View shooting/Movie shooting switch to <icon>. When the Live View shooting/Movie shooting switch is set to <icon>, linked shooting is not possible.

Cannot reconnect to a smartphone.

- Even with a combination of the same camera and smartphone, if you have changed the settings or selected a different setting, reconnection may not be established even after selecting the same SSID. In such a case, delete the camera connection settings from the Wi-Fi settings on the smartphone and set up a connection again. - If Camera Connect is left running while setting up a connection again, the connection may not be established. In such a case, restart Camera Connect.

The camera and transmitter heat up and the transmission rate drops.

- If wireless operation is used continuously in high ambient temperatures for a prolonged period, the transmitter temperature may rise and the transfer speed may become slow. If the transmitter temperature further rises, an Error 83 may appear and the wireless operation may stop (p.134).

Communication Function Setting Notes

If the transmission rate drops, the connection is lost, or other problems occur when using the communication function, try the following corrective actions.

Access Point and Antenna Installation Location

• When using the transmitter indoors, install the device in the same room where you are shooting.
• Install the device higher than the transmitter.
• Install the device where people or objects do not come between it and the transmitter.
• Install the device as close to the transmitter as possible. In particular, note that during outdoor use in poor weather, rain may absorb radio waves and disrupt the connection.

Nearby Electronic Devices

If the transmission rate of a wireless LAN drops because of the influence of the following electronic devices, stop using them or establish a connection further away from them. In addition, switching to a wired LAN can resolve the problem.

- The transmitter communicates over wireless LANs via IEEE 802.11n/g/b using radio waves in the 2.4 GHz band. For this reason, the wireless LAN transmission rate may drop if there are nearby microwave ovens, cordless telephones, microphones, or similar devices operating on the same frequency band.

- If a wireless LAN terminal on the same frequency band as the transmitter is used nearby, the transmission rate of the wireless LAN may drop.

Notes for Using Multiple Wireless Transmitters

• When multiple cameras with a wireless transmitter attached are connected to one access point, make sure that the cameras' IP addresses are different.
• When multiple cameras with a wireless transmitter attached are connected to one access point, the transmission rate drops.
• When there are multiple IEEE 802.11n/g/b (2.4 GHz band) access points, leave a gap of four channels between each wireless LAN channel to reduce radio wave interference. For example, use channels 1, 6, and 11, channels 2, 7, and 12, or channels 3, 8, and 13. When IEEE 802.11ac/n/a can be used (on the 5 GHz band), switch to IEEE 802.11ac/n/a (on the 5 GHz band) and specify a different channel.

Security

If security settings have not been properly set, the following problems may occur.

• Transmission monitoring: Third parties with malicious intent may monitor the wireless LAN transmissions and attempt to acquire the data you are sending. - Unauthorized network access: Third parties with malicious intent may gain unauthorized access to the network you are using to steal, modify, or destroy information. Additionally, you could fall victim to other types of unauthorized access such as impersonation (where someone assumes an identity to gain access to unauthorized information) or springboard attacks (where someone gains unauthorized access to your network as a springboard to cover their tracks when infiltrating other systems).

To prevent these types of problems from occurring, be sure to thoroughly secure your network.
