password, you will not be prompted to do so
when connecting to the camera again unless
the password has changed in the interim.

A Checking That SnapBridge Is Connected via Wi-Fi
If your iOS device is connected via Wi-Fi to a device other
than your camera, iOS will display a Wi-Fi icon but SnapBridge will not. Repeat Steps 1–5 to connect to your
camera via Wi-Fi.

We recommend that you change the default password to protect your privacy. To
view or change the camera password, select Wi-Fi > Network settings > Password in the setup menu (digital SLR cameras) or network menu (compact digital
cameras).
D Unable to Connect
Disable Wi-Fi on any iOS devices in the vicinity to which the camera has previously
connected.
D Wi-Fi Connections
Wi-Fi connections will end automatically if you switch to another app or close the
Camera tab in the SnapBridge app.

Why Is the Wi-Fi Prompt Displayed?
The Wi-Fi prompt is displayed when:
• SnapBridge switches from Bluetooth to Wi-Fi. SnapBridge automatically switches between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to save power. The Wi-Fi prompt is displayed when SnapBridge switches from Bluetooth to Wi-Fi. Note that
SnapBridge may need a few seconds to switch to Wi-Fi after you perform
such operations as selecting remote photography in the Camera tab.
• SnapBridge detects the camera after losing the Wi-Fi connection. The connection
will be lost when your iOS device locks or the camera enters sleep mode,
in which case your device may automatically connect to another network. The Wi-Fi prompt will be displayed as needed when SnapBridge
detects the camera again. The Wi-Fi connection may also be lost due to
strong interference.
