Re: Canon shut off WiFi.

How it USED to work was this.

  1. Take photos, go home.
  2. Single push on a button on the camera.
  3. View/edit pictures on desktop.

Simply addressed the objective to have the photos from the camera on your desktop.

ONE SINGLE PUSH of a button.

No mobile phone needed, or file copy paste, or folder creation, cable connection, or pulling cards in and out etc.

Now Canon decided to stop this functionality.

Can you indicate how Canon have improved matters for me??

If you liked that system, then I'm sorry it's no longer available for you. And I already stated that IMO Canon was premature in dropping support for a camera that it sold 2014-15, i.e., that was replaced barely five years ago.

Maybe I like manual operations and control more than some, but between renaming photo files, directing them to different folders of my choice, etc., that system does not appeal to me. The more automation a system has, the less control the user has.
