Help! Canon 5D Mark IV wifi reset?!

Parnzy — Sat, 09 Dec 2023 07:06:55 GMT

I’ve been struggling for a long time to connect wifi to my iphone. When I try to ‘clear settings’ under ‘communication settings’ it is blacked out and can’t be selected. As is the ‘nickname’ option.
Please help?

Make sure Wi-Fi communications is enabled.

The camera will communicate using USB or Wi-Fi. You mist tell it which method to use. The camera is not able to switch back and forth on its own, and you would not want it to, anyway.

You have to set a nickname in the camera first to be able to change wifi settings. So if you cleared the wifi settings this remove the nickname, so the first step is to set a nickname.

See the manual page W-8
