How do I transfer photos wirelessly?

What are the limitations of 4K video on this camera?

Yes, the camera offers various automatic modes and scene settings, along with an intuitive touchscreen interface, making it accessible for beginners. However, its advanced features also cater to users looking to grow their skills.
What type of memory card does it use?
The camera uses SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards.
Does the camera come with a lens?
This kit includes the versatile EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens, which is suitable for a wide range of everyday shooting situations.
Troubleshooting
Camera won't turn on
Ensure the battery is fully charged and inserted correctly. Check if the battery cover is properly closed. Try a different fully charged battery if available.
Photos are blurry
Ensure the correct focus mode (e.g., One Shot AF, Servo AF) is selected for your subject. Check that the lens is focused correctly or that Eye Detection AF is active and targeting the subject's eye. Clean the lens and camera sensor if they appear dirty.
Wi-Fi connection fails
Verify that Wi-Fi is enabled on the camera and your smart device. Ensure both devices are within range. Restart both the camera and your smart device. Re-pair the devices if necessary.
Video recording is choppy or stuttering
Ensure you are using a sufficiently fast memory card (e.g., UHS-I U3 or faster for 4K). Check the selected video resolution and frame rate; try a lower setting if issues persist. Ensure the battery is adequately charged, as low power can affect performance.
Touchscreen is unresponsive
Clean the screen gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Restart the camera. Check if the touchscreen function is enabled in the camera's menu settings.
