Connecting the camera with a USB cable
Using a USB cable to connect the camera to your smartphone provides more stable communication than with a Wi-Fi connection.
- The smartphone needs to have a USB Type-C® terminal. Connect the camera and the smartphone with a USB Type-C cable without using an adapter.
- To perform high-speed communication, the camera, smartphone, and USB cable all need to be compliant with USB 3.2. Visit the following website for supported cameras.

- Connect by following the instructions from (Cameras) → (Settings) → [USB connection] in Creators' App.
- To remove the cable, disconnect it after [Ends camera operations.] is displayed on the smartphone.
