COMMUNICATION APPARATUS THAT COMMUNICATES WITH INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

A communication apparatus communication apparatus capable of performing communication by quickly determining a suitable communication path from among a plurality of communication paths. A digital camera searches for a predetermined device connected to the same network, and transmits content data to the predetermined device found by the search. The digital camera is controlled according to one of a plurality of modes including a first control mode in which when a first time period elapses without the predetermined device being found, after starting the search, the search is stopped, and a second control mode in which, when a second time period elapses without the predetermined device being found, after starting the search, the search is stopped, and the content data is transmitted to a cloud server. The second time period is shorter than the first time period.
