I. Setting Up on Mobile

- Note the:
- IP Address

Special Notes:
- Do not close the transfer page during FTP transmission.
- Avoid switching network environments during usage, as it may change the phone's IP address.
- A single phone can support connection to a maximum of 3 cameras with FTP capabilities.
- When setting up an Android phone hotspot or Wi-Fi, it's recommended to set a numerical password. (The hotspot/Wi-Fi name must be in pure English, otherwise some cameras may not recognize it.)
- After a successful FTP switch, the mobile device will display the "IP address", which needs to be configured on the camera side. (The IP address will only be displayed when Wi-Fi or mobile hotspot is enabled.)
II. Camera Operations (Demonstrated with Canon 5D4)
- Set the image quality on the camera, ensuring it includes JPEG format.
- Access the camera's "Communication Settings."
- Click on "FTP Transfer Settings."
- For "Automatic Transfer," choose to enable or disable it. If disabled, enabling it requires pressing the SET button.

- After successful connection, choose "Auto Setting" for IP address and "FTP" for FTP mode.
- Click on "Address Settings", input the IP address provided by the mobile device. Then click on "Port number Setting" and input the port number information prompted by the mobile device. After inputting, click OK.

When a camera and phone have successfully connected before, they will be saved as a preset on the camera. Next time, you can directly select the server connection. If the phone's IP address changes, it needs to be reconfigured.
