Precautions for Wireless Features
Before Use
Security Precautions
● Before goods or technologies in the camera regulated by the Foreign
Exchange and Foreign Trade Act are exported (which includes
bringing them outside Japan or showing them to non-residents in
Japan), export or service transaction permission may be required from
the Japanese government.
Because Wi-Fi uses radio waves to transmit signals, security precautions
more stringent than when using a LAN cable are required.
Keep the following points in mind when using Wi-Fi.
Basic Guide
Advanced Guide
● Only use networks you are authorized to use.
This product searches for Wi-Fi networks in the vicinity and displays
the results on the screen. Networks you are not authorized to use
(unknown networks) may also be displayed. However, attempting to
connect to or using such networks could be regarded as unauthorized
access. Be sure to use only networks you are authorized to use, and
do not attempt to connect to other unknown networks.
Camera Basics
● Because this product includes American encryption items, it falls under
U.S. Export Administration Regulations, and cannot be exported to or
brought into a country under U.S. trade embargo.
Auto Mode /
Hybrid Auto Mode
● Be sure to make notes of the Wi-Fi settings you use. The wireless
settings saved to this product may change or be erased due to
incorrect operation of the product, the effects of radio waves or static
electricity, or accident or malfunction. Please note that Canon accepts
no responsibility for direct or indirect damages or loss of earnings
resulting from a degradation or disappearance of content.

If security settings have not been properly set, the following problems may
occur.
Tv, Av, and M Mode

● Transmission monitoring
Third parties with malicious intent may monitor Wi-Fi transmissions
and attempt to acquire the data you are sending.
● When transferring ownership, disposing of the product, or sending it
for repair, restore the default wireless settings by erasing any settings
you have entered.
● Unauthorized network access
Wireless Features
Setting Menu
Accessories
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).
● Canon will not make compensation for damages resulting from loss or
theft of the product.
Canon accepts no responsibility for damages or loss resulting from
unauthorized access or use of target devices registered on this
product due to loss or theft of the product.
● Be sure to use the product as directed in this guide.
Be sure to use the wireless function of this product within the
guidelines noted in this guide. Canon accepts no responsibility for
damages or loss if the function and product are used in ways other
than as described in this guide.
Appendix
To prevent these types of problems from occurring, be sure to thoroughly
secure your Wi-Fi network.
Only use this camera’s Wi-Fi function with a proper understanding of
Wi-Fi security, and balance risk and convenience when adjusting security
settings.
