Canon Camera Connect is the most frustrating app i have ever used to try to make a wireless connection. Been trying to connect my R7 for over one hour now. I managed to connect the bluetooth but when i want to use the app it wants me to connect via WiFi as well and it keeps failing

Do you can use iPad as a monitor to your Canon on the Canon app through usb c port cable to the iPad ?

Hey, This is a Blessing!! I used to use an app called Aircam that worked floorlessly. Until they sold it to Apple and they changed it. Since then I've been searching for an app. where at events I can show off the photos and send them to clients in real time. I'm not sure if I can do this, but I'm closer than before. Question; Is there a way to designate the photo I take to a folder on my phone?

anyone know if the app has a voice activated shutter option? Like saying cheese on a samsung phone?

Thank you for explaining how to connect via bluetooth. I'm having problems connecting a second device via bluetooth. Bluetooth is turned off on my first device. The camera "pairing" is grayed out when trying to pair my second device. Do I have to reset the camera each time to pair a different device?

I can't get passed 2:21. The app on my phone says it's connected to the network, and right below it says "Detects the camera when connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the camera. And then nothing. I can either go back or close to try and register the camera again. The camera says "Start dedicated app on the smartphone" and shows a single "Cancel" button. I've uninstalled the app on my phone twice (this is my first time using it), and reset the WiFi settings on the camera about 12 times now. Still exactly the same every time. Can someone PLEASE help me get passed this dead end?

Thanks for the great tutorial. Sadly, my camera only has WiFi and the app doesn’t let me to record videos, just to take photos. Is there any solution for this?

[attilalenart]

Thanks for sharing this tutorial. Unfortunately the Canon app (on android) has a lots of limitation. For example there is no histogram?! Also has a limited settings especially during the video mode.

Is there anyway to show the zebras from the camera on the iPhone display?

[neniscarlet]

I have an EOS 6D. I get this problem:
"Movie recording is disabled when Wifi is set to enable"

Any fixes for this?

There is a way to connect Canon Sl1 on my Ipad?

[michellebivins]

OMG thank you so much!!! I was able to reconnect my camera to the app using this method.

Why does my camera connect app not have the volume indicator? What's your camera connect version?

My R works as it should, but my R5 will not connect. I deleted and attempted to re-establish a connection, but still will not connect. I attempted connect with an Android devices and and iPad. They previously connected with the previous version of Canon Connect. This really sucks, especially because I primarily use the R5.
