Canon Powershot SX720 HS won't connect to android phone/Camera Connect

SunnyAZ — Wed, 16 Nov 2022 23:20:39 GMT

I've been transferring photos from my Canon Powershot SX720 to my phone (android/Samsung) using the Canon Camera Connect app for years without issue. After their last app update, I wasn't able to connect anymore. And now, even before that step, when I try to connect to WiFi on my camera, I consistently get the error message "Incorrect Wi-Fi Security Settings." But, I haven't changed any settings, and everything looks correct as far as I can tell. What is wrong, and how do I fix? I need to transfer photos from my camera daily and can no longer do so. I really don't want to be forced to resort to using SD card to transfer now. Thanks for any help.

Same. Any resolution? SO annoying.

Just to provide an update for those also having this problem, my camera started connecting again so that everything is working now. I did not alter anything; it just resolved on its own. Hopefully that happens for others too.
