EOS R Camera Connect error "target not found"

I can connect my phone to my camera via WiFi only once, every future attempt fails with "target nit found", I need to delete the phone from the camera and reconnect again the phone from scratch. This happens every time I try to reconnect my phone after a disconnection.

Hi Thegios!

So we can point you in the right direction, which camera do you have?

Sure, apologies I forgot to say...

Camera EOS È

Phone Pixel 7 Pro

 

To be clear, 1st time it connects and stays connected.

If I disconnect and later I try again, I get the error: I need to delete the phone from the camera and make.a new connection to the same phone.

Thanks for the reply, though we don't make a camera with the name you listed.  Could you please double-check the camera model for us?

EOS R 

Hello thegios,

There are certain steps to reconnect the camera and phone after disconnecting previously. You can find the instructions for this process starting on page 509 in the instruction manual for the camera. I have attached a link to the manual HERE for your reference.

That's what I do, but I get the "target not found error"
