The Canon Powershot 360HS is one of the most
popular vlogging cameras available today. But to make it even more functional, I'm going
to show you how to connect it to your smartphone so you can share the images from this camera
easier on social media! This is all done through the Canon Camera
Connect app. It's free to download and available for iOS
and Android. I just installed it on my iPhone and I'll
quickly get out of these popup windows. And once I'm in the main app, I'll tap on
the Connect
to Camera button. And here I'll connect my first camera to the
app. Then hit Next. I'll tap on the PowerShot option here. Now I'll try and find my camera. I looked before and the 360HS isn't in the
list so I'll tap on top button. And here I'll tell it that the camera doesn't
support Bluetooth. At this point, find the Wifi button on the
back of the camera and press it to power the camera. The first thing that will pop up is the camera's
nickname. This can be renamed but I'll just keep it
at the d
efault setting. Hit the Set button to confirm. And now choose the Connect to Smartphone icon
and hit Set. Now hit Set again to Add a Device. This screen shows you the Wifi name and password
for the camera. You'll need this later in the phone setup. The next thing to do is to connect the phone
to the camera's Wifi network. In the Wifi settings, the name of the camera
will appear as one of the networks. Tap the camera name and enter the password
that is shown on the camera's screen and hit Join. A
nd now we're getting really close to being
finished. Going back into the Camera Connect app. It can now detect the 360HS over Wifi so all
I have to do is tap on the camera name. And now select Yes on the camera to finish
the connection. Now you can view all the images and videos
stored on the SD card inside the 360HS. I can go through the pictures and easily transfer
any of them to my phone's camera roll. So now that the photo is on my phone, I can
easily share it on Facebook, Instagram and othe
r social media sites. The other cool thing you can now do is remote
control the camera with the phone. Just be aware that the lens will extend when
you start remote shooting. In this mode, you can now use the phone as
a wireless external monitor to see what you're shooting. So I hope you found this video helpful in
setting up the Wifi feature on the Canon Powershot 360HS. And if you did, please give me a thumbs up
