In this video, we’ll help you connect your Canon EOS Mirrorless digital camera to your
iOS device using the Bluetooth wireless setup method. Bluetooth simplifies the process of
establishing a connection between the mobile device and the camera by reducing the number
of steps needed to connect. The camera and mobile device detect each other and maintain an initial
connection so they’re ready to work together to do wireless functions. Let's get started! First,
let's download the Canon Camera Connect App on your iOS device. Find and tap the App Store icon.
Then tap the search icon. In the search box, type "Canon Camera Connect", then tap "Search". In
the search results tap “Get”, then follow the on screen instruction to complete the installation.
Now let's connect your camera.
Please make sure the camera’s Date and Time are correctly set up and a memory card is inserted
in the camera before proceeding. Also, make sure the battery is fully charged. Please note. The
EOS R6 has a touch screen function, however for this video, we’ll be using the Set button and the
multi-controller to make selections. Make sure the camera is powered on. Then press the Menu button.
Go to the purple Wireless settings menu. Then select Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connection.
In the Wi-Fi function menu, select ‘Connect to Smartphone’. Select OK to enable Wi-Fi.
Then, select ‘Add a device to connect to’.
Since we already downloaded the App earlier, select ‘Do not display’.
In the connect to smartphone menu, select ‘Pair via Bluetooth’.
Select OK to enable Bluetooth.
Review the pairing information, then select OK. Bluetooth Pairing is now in progress.
Return to your iOS device and open the Canon Camera Connect App. When you open the Canon Camera
Connect App for the first time, a window will open asking permission to send you notifications.
Tap either ‘Don’t Allow’ or Allow to proceed to the next step.
Tap “OK” if you see this window. Wireless connection will fail if you select “Don’t Allow.”
Camera Connect will also ask permission to access photos on your device.
Tap “Allow Access to All Photos.”
Camera Connect will also ask permission to use Bluetooth. Tap ‘OK’ to allow access.
If this is your first time installing the app, the following screen will appear. Read the agreements,
and if you agree to the terms, tap Agree to continue. On the Camera Connect welcome screen,
tap Skip. The Camera Connect welcome screen will only appear once the first time you open the app.
Tap Start. Review the information if you see this window. If you don’t want to see this message
again, tap the box next to ‘Do not display again’. Tap OK to proceed to the next step.
The app will search for the camera that it’s trying to pair with. When this screen appears,
select your camera. If Camera connect is unable to detect your camera,
tap the ‘Menu’ icon right next to the Bluetooth® logo,
then tap ‘Scan’ to allow the app to search for your camera again.
Select your camera.
Select ‘Pair’ to connect your mobile device to your camera.
On your camera, select ‘OK’ to connect to your iOS Device.
Select ‘OK’ again.
Tap OK on your iOS device to complete Bluetooth pairing.
Now, let’s tap ‘Images on Camera’.
Please note, if multiple cameras are paired,
the app will prompt you to select which camera you would like to use.
Tap ‘Join’ when prompted.
The Canon Camera Connect app will configure the Wi-Fi connection settings for you.
This may take a minute or two.
You can now transfer images from your camera to your iOS device.
Now, tap the gear on the upper right to access the ‘Camera image list settings’.
In Select Media, you can choose to select images or videos from the SD card.
You can change the JPEG format save size,
RAW image save format,
Movie save quality, and Delete location information.
When you’re done making your selections , tap the ‘X’ icon on the upper right.
Tap Select, then choose the images that you’d like to transfer.
Once your images are selected tap the import icon. A resize option screen will be displayed
if you left the option ‘select when saving’ selected in the ‘camera image list settings’.
Choose an option, and then tap OK. Your photos will now be transferred and saved to your iOS
device. After the images have been saved, tap the X icon in the upper right of the screen.
Then tap the left arrow icon in the upper left to return to the menu screen.
To end the connection, tap the X icon in the upper right of the screen, then tap Yes.
Now that your iOS device and camera are paired via Bluetooth,
re-connecting them wirelessly is even easier. Turn on the camera.
Open the Canon Camera Connect app and make sure the camera’s
nickname appears at the top of the home screen. then tap ‘Images on camera’.
Again, tap ‘Join’ when prompted.
The Canon Camera Connect app will configure the Wi-Fi connection settings for you.
