I wanted to update my S5II with the latest FW 3.2. But then I saw a note in the description, that the PC connection via WIFI is removed for european models…
I double checked this now with support and got the answer that this function is not available anymore with this new FW. They are refferring to the manual which I used to claim the problem…
To be clear: I‘m talking about the function to directly transfer pictures taken to a shared folder on a PC, without any additional software or app. That is a cool feature, because after configuration of the WLAN connection it is foolproof. No app needed, just a WLAN network and a shared folder on a PC. If you want to do this with Canons you have to by the WLAN grips for several hundrets of €/$…
But now this cool function is removed with the FW upgrade 3.2 and only for european models. So USA and Asia should still have this option (look for transfer to PC inside the WLAN menu options).
In think it is the first time I saw a company removing a function available for years by firmware update…
Can anybody from Europe check this with a S5II with FW3.2 ? And maybe check from elsewhere if it is still there?
