Introduction
If you find you need to replace the Wi-Fi antenna, follow this guide. Since the antenna is required to connect wirelessly to the camera, replacing the antenna may allow you to reclaim this function. The antenna has a cover that connects to the body, as well as a single wire soldered to the motherboard. A small Phillips head screwdriver and a soldering iron will be needed.
