Your Canon Rebel T6i/750D camera enables you to connect via a wireless network to various devices for picture sharing, printing, and downloading. To try out these features, visit Setup Menu 3 and set the Wi‐Fi option to Enable, which then makes the Wi‐Fi Function menu option available. Choose that option, as
shown on the left, to launch the screen shown on the right, which is the starting point for all the Wi‐Fi functions. Launch Wi‐Fi connections from this main control screen. In the initial setup steps you need to take for using all the Wi‐Fi functions, basically, you have to give your camera a nickname by entering data through the keyboard. After you get through the initial setup, you can take advantage of the following wireless features by selecting the icons indicated in the figure:
Of all these features, the one that people will appreciate most is being able to upload low‐res pictures for playback on a smartphone or tablet. Fortunately, after you install the app, getting the two devices to connect is pretty easy, and using the app is fairly intuitive — which can't be said about the other wireless functions. There's a brief paper guide to Wi‐Fi hookups in the camera box, but unless you're a networking guru, you're going to need to dig out the instructional manual on CD to find step‐by‐step instructions for using all the features with various types of wireless networks. The steps vary depending on your computer's operating system and your wireless‐network setup. Be sure, too, to check the Canon website to make sure you have the latest copy of the Canon EOS Utility software.
