Canon app cant download videos to phone

Question marked as Solved User profile for user: Smtr Smtr. Answer: A: Answer: A: I have seen this exact behavior with large video files. You have 2 basic choices: 1 Use Image Capture in your Applications folder to download the video. In IC you can select "Download Some", see the files on the camera, and select just the ones you want to download.

With a file this big I recommend doing one at a time. Set it to Download to your Desktop, and be patient. Ignore the blue Progress bar, as it seems to go from 0 to very quickly, when in fact the process has just begun. It may seem like nothing is happening, but wait long enough and it should complete.

Instead of uploading via the camera, use a USB card reader to mount the card. Then you can simply drag the video files to your Desktop. Android and iOS. Then turn on the WiFi in your camera. This may sound confusing, but it is actually extremely simple. You just go to the fourth sub menu in the settings menu Yellow , and it is under ''Communications settings,'' select that, than on the next screen is an option to enable WiFi, enable it.

Now you will connect your device to your camera. You go into the WiFi menu of your cell phone, and connect it to your camera as you would to any other WiFi. You have just basically turned your Camera into a hotspot. You have the choice in camera to add a password to the WiFi and also change the name of the signal, I chose not too do either, and use the default settings.

It was super painless this way, and I have no fear of someone hacking into my files, especially since the WiFi is always off anyway. Step only has to be done a single time, to set up the initial connection for the first time. From now on, whenever you enable the WiFi on your 5D IV and on your cell phone, they will connect to each other automatically. All you have to do after that, is open the app on your phone.

You cell remembers the WiFi just like it would any other router you previously connected to in your home or office. And finally, now that the app is open, you just select what you want to do from the main menu on your screen, as I said, all I am using it for is transferring photos to my phone. So that's the first option, ''Images on camera,'' from here you can see all your photos that are on the cameras memory card, and save them to your device.

Super easy in real world usage! Now once they are on your phone, you can do with them as you please. Send them to your talent or clients that are on set, or post them directly on social media for yourself. You do not have to wait until you are at home on your computer anymore. I have also been doing this when just out with my friends. Snapping photos of us out and about, and giving them the photos immediately via Whatsapp. And besides smartphones, the App also works with tablets and iPad's for a larger display if desired.

It would be interesting to see whether the app works with the 7D Mk2 as well after inserting the WiFi card It does work, I finally got my card last Friday. Found it on Amazon and cancelled my Canon preorder.

But how does it work when you only shoot in RAW? Does it make it automatically a JPEG and transfer it to your phone? I have been using it with my 6D since I got it. Funny that we are only seeing a post about it now. Or is it because the 6D doesn't get much love? The 6D is a great camera! I have shot with it quite a few times. It has amazing image quality and an incredible sensor I recently upgraded to the Mark IV, and now I could not live without this feature,.

Yup, I have the 6D and the wifi aspect has been amazing the last couple years. When it comes to the wifi connectivity I have found other camera brands far better than Canon and their app.

It works but its finicky for sure. Sometimes you have to snap a photo to get it to connect which is a little odd and leaves a click on my camera to delete later. The menu is minimal and pretty straightforward. Selecting Images on camera will show you a gallery of all the images on your connected camera i.

Selecting Remote live view shooting will give you a live camera feed on your phone. Hit the big circle at the bottom of the screen to fire the camera shutter. You can make adjustments to settings, too; for instance, from your phone, you can change the point of focus, the shutter speed , the aperture , the ISO , the white balance , the AF area mode, and more.

After all, most landscape photography occurs at slow shutter speeds, where the action of pressing the shutter button can introduce unwanted blur. Step 1. Launch the app on your Android device Tap on the search new video to search for the desired video. Step 2.
