Nikon (With SnapBridge) WiFi Connection Guide

Welcome to the Nikon WiFi connection guide! The process of connecting Cascable to your camera is usually very simple. This guide will walk you through the steps.

If you’re connecting your camera to Cascable via USB, you’ll instead want our Working with Wired Cameras guide.

Important: This guide is for Nikon cameras that include SnapBridge, including the Z6 and Z7 models. If your camera was introduced before SnapBridge, you must follow our Nikon (Without SnapBridge) connection guide.
