    Hi all,
    I have the Camera Connect app. The on-camera setup went well, I chose and selected all necessary settings. On the phone ( iPhone 12) I can see the camera title, select it and enter the password. I then get a “cannot connect to {title}” error message. This is a different message to the “wrong password” message, I can rule that out.
    Thanks in anticipation, MN.

    There seem to be some others fighting over the years with connecting. Are ou up to date on both firmware on camera and the app is up to date?

    Seems resetting the camera wifi settings was the most helpful, I saw mention that it did not like nondefault camera names being setup.

    Thank you, there was indeed one firmware update available, and I reloaded the Wi-Fi settings, and somewhere within that process the problem has gone away, so thanks again. Loving not having to connect the camera up to the laptop as I now have an alternative to usb.
    Regards, MN.
