In this video, we'll show you how to connect your Canon PoWershot digital camera
to your Mac through a wireless network.
Before we begin, please note that
your images are not transferred directly from your PowerShot camera to your Mac.
Transferring images to your Mac requires an active Canon iMAGE GATEWAY account
and the Sync Web Service must also be enabled.
An internet connection is required for both devices.
This procedure is compatible with Mac OS X El Capitan
version 10.11 or later, both of which are not compatible with Camera Window DC software.
Let's get started!
Using Access Point mode you can connect
your Mac to your camera through a wireless router and easily share photos
to your computer.
First, confirm that your wireless router is properly set up
and your computer is connected to the network.
Download the Camera Window DC
software package which includes the Image Transfer Utility software from the
Canon website by visiting:
