Sending still images and movies between two Canon-brand
cameras (Wi-Fi function) (PowerShot N2)

You can connect two cameras via Wi-Fi and send images between.
NOTE
•Only Canon-brand cameras equipped with a Wi-Fi function can be connected to
wirelessly. Even Canon-brand cameras that support Eye-Fi cards cannot be
