powered on, then press the menu button. Go to the Function Settings menu. In the
first tab of the Function Settings menu, select Wireless Communication Settings.

there is no need to complete pairing again if you'll continue using the
camera and the computer together again. Go to the first yellow wrench menu and
select Wireless Communication Settings, then select Wi-Fi® function. Select the
name of the computer that you'd like to connect to. Depending on the initial
wireless connection setup with your computer, the camera will pair
automatically and EOS Utility will launch after pairing. If EOS Utility did not
launch automatically, check your Wi-Fi® connection and make sure "Connect
Automatically" is check-marked, then click Connect. The camera will now
connect with the computer, and EOS Utility will open automatically. If you
lose Wi-Fi® connection because of an updated operating system or a software
update, performing a wireless settings reset may resolve the problem. Press the
