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.

    • To remove the cable, disconnect it after [Ends camera operations.] is displayed on the smartphone.
