Why Is the Wi-Fi Prompt Displayed?

The Wi-Fi prompt is displayed when:

• SnapBridge 360/170 switches from Bluetooth to
Wi-Fi. SnapBridge 360/170 automatically
switches between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to save
power. The Wi-Fi prompt is displayed when
SnapBridge 360/170 switches from Bluetooth
to Wi-Fi. Note that SnapBridge 360/170 may
need a few seconds to switch to Wi-Fi after you
perform such operations as selecting remote
photography in the Camera tab.

• SnapBridge 360/170 detects the camera after losing
the Wi-Fi connection. The connection will be lost
when your iOS device locks or the camera enters
sleep mode, in which case your device may
automatically connect to another network. The
Wi-Fi prompt will be displayed as needed when
SnapBridge 360/170 detects the camera again.
The Wi-Fi connection may also be lost due to
strong interference or as a result of exiting the
SnapBridge 360/170 Camera tab.
