Boy is this a struggle, I have tried to connect my smartphone to the camera about 20 times and it just won't work even though I have carefully followed the "instructions". "Easy connection guide" my ass. I am about ready to hurl this camera through a window. Canon's "instructions" are total garbage.
OK, I have the C Connect s/w working on my iPad AIR2. The feature-set is frustratingly restricted for our SX60hs, but I can connect. The connection procedure reminds me of an almost MS-DOS procedure - remember those? Anyways, and before this thread gets “shuffled off” to the SOFTWARE Forum, do make sure your SMARTPHONE, which is what, you haven’t said, is compatible with the CONNECT s/w.
And as I said, the restrictions for our SX60hs are such that you may find yourself rather reassigning the WiFi Button to something more useful, like making a cup of coffee or buying a Lottery ticket. As to the restrictions do read the response I got from Canon. In essence I was told that the restricted Experience I was having is expected behaviour.
My advice? Don’t throw the camera outta the window, it’s a good point ‘n shoot. But, if you do still fill so inclined, make sure the window is open, as paying for a glazer to repair the said window, will be even more aggravating. Defenestration of a Camera Obscura can be Whiffy experience.
