Canon Camera App Free Mobile Phone

Luckily, Canon seems to have listened to 6D owners, and increased the ease of use of their Wi-Fi platform by switching up the free mobile phone app that comes with the 6D.

Previous versions of the app where called EOS Remote and Canon CameraWindow, but earlier this year, a new improved app called Canon Camera Connect, became the main app endorsed by Canon.

Canon Camera App How To Enable Wi

Please note that the tutorial is written assuming you already know how to enable Wi-Fi shooting on your particular device.

The app is compatible with a limited range of Canon digital cameras, including select PowerShot point and shoot cameras, the EOS M2, and the EOS 70D and 6D.

This tutorial was created using the Canon 6D camera, and a Moto X Android phone.

Thus, you must first activate the Wi-Fi hotspot on the 6D (or one of the compatible models), then connect to it via your phones Wi-Fi networks.

Be aware that this WILL temporarily disable your phones functionality until you disable the connection with your camera.

You will most likely stick to the top two options, which are described in more detail below.

Three options will then appear at the bottom of the image: Save to phone, favorite (star), or trash.

If you wish to share an image via email or social media, remember that you cant do so without first disconnecting your phone from your camera.

To work around this, choose the Save to camera option to store the photo on your phone, and then upload it when your phone has internet connectivity again.

Controllable settings include: changing the shutter speed, aperture, ISO, exposure compensation, drive mode, focus mode, and of course the activating the shutter button to take a photo.

All the controls can be adjusted and activated using touch screen control.

There are a few shortcomings to the remote control settings as listed below, but off the bat the app provides quite a few options for remote shooting.

This is a feature you probably wont use often unless you take your camera traveling a lot.

Also, it easily resizes RAW files to JPGs when you save images to your phone.

Ive done this using photos shot from an Olympus Tough TG-2 point and shoot, Fujifilm x100s mirrorless camera, and Canon 5D Mark III, so I would assume it would also hold true for other camera models.

As is probably obvious from some demo shots above, I havent figured out how to enable it.

If you have one of the compatible cameras listed, give it a try and let me know what you think.

Do you have any other uses for remote apps I havent thought of or mentioned.

When shes not taking photos, shes making travel photography and camera gear videos for her YouTube channel.
