  • Try the following if video and audio is noisy or skips. These steps may improve the quality.

    • Bring the camera and access point (wireless router, tethering smartphone, etc.) closer together, change their relative positions, and keep the space between them free of people and objects.
    • Indoors, set up the access point and camera in the same room.
    • Set up away from devices that use the 2.4 GHz band, such as microwave ovens or cordless phones.
  • If noise from an external microphone is distracting, try placing the microphone on the side of the camera with the external microphone IN terminal as far from the camera as possible.
  • Although selecting 3.5 Mbps as the streaming quality in Camera Connect may enable more stable streaming than with 6 Mbps, image quality will be lower.
  • The camera will become warmer during streaming. Use the stand or a tripod, or take other measures to avoid handheld recording. Once the camera becomes hot, [High temperature] appears on the screen as a warning.
  • Note that Canon is in no way responsible for third-party services.
  • No image is recorded to the card during streaming (but a card must be in the camera).
  • Test streaming in advance to make sure the image is straight and in the correct orientation, and adjust the orientation as needed.
