Sending still images and movies between two Canon-brand

cameras (Wi-Fi) (PowerShot G3 X)

You can connect two cameras via Wi-Fi and send images between them as follows.

of the original file. Note that this may delay transmission, and the file cannot be

sent unless there is enough space for it on the memory card.
