Just digging into my new Canon EOS D70 and this video on WIFI setup was extremely helpful. Not only walked me through connecting camera to iPhone, but helped me understand important limitations. e.g. When wifi is set to on on camera, you lose ability to video. And u can move images but not videos via WIFI. Video screenshots, yes. Videos themselves, no. Thanks for an awesome tutorial Omar!
Advait Thakur They've probably updated the app since I filmed this and it probably offers the ability to record video. Check out the app in the App Store and see the details.
Omar good to see this as I have a new 70D. The problem I am having is wifi connection to a smart TV . In my case Sony Bravia. I can get the connection but not the step to show the pictures. Some part of the process I have missed. So if you do another video can it be EOS 70D to a smart TV using Wifi?
Thanks for the clear instructions! I have a older EOS 70d, I used to be able to connect it to my iPhone easily . I haven’t used my camera for a while and now I can’t connect them anymore ! Watched your video realizing that my camera setting gives me a different screen at this step shown at the Connection Method. My camera screen doesn’t show the choices of camera access point mode or infrastructure mode. Is the software of my camera too old ? And how can o upgrade the camera software? Thanks !
This video is 9 years old so there's a greater likely hood that the software featured in the video is out of date and the newer software looks different.
Hola Omar, Es posible que mientras la cámara este transmitiendo los archivos a una PC Windows, esta PC mantenga su conexión a internet, es decir mantener la comunicación con la camara y al mismo tiempo sostener internet?
Wait the 80D doesnt disable the WiFi movie mode, does it? I dont recall it doing that with the Canon Camera Connect app... but then again this video was made in 2013 and lots has changed since then.
+amora beauty there's no "best settings" for every situation. But if you can help it, keep your ISO setting as low as possible. The higher that number is, the more grainy your images will appear, especially the dark areas.
How long can the 70d record video on a 32 gb sd card. What i want to know does it record video to the sd card limit, or does it still cut off at 30 mins.
1. No 2. Not sure about range, probably as far as 100 ft 3. I believe they have an android app now also, but it also works with a computer with the included software
Hi Omar. Found this very helpful. I can use the EOS Utility to shoot remotely, and the usb connection is fine. I can connect to my I phone using the Eos App as your video shows. However what I am having trouble with is connection my EOS70D to my lap top using the new EOS Utility v2. It just won't connect to my hub ( pressing WPS is ok) and therefore isn't recognised by my laptop via wi-fi, so never pairs. Are you able to help or point me in the right direction ?
Have you tried both methods of connecting your laptop and camera to the same wifi network and also connecting your laptop to the camera as a wifi hotspot like the app does?
Hi ..i have question. when I'm taking pictures i see in my camera that i took one shot and when putting in my computer i see that instead of one picture i have from the same pic but double. but i took a picture one time ...could you please help me. it is Cannon 70D thanks
you might have an option enabled in the settings that is adding another image like an HDR images to your camera roll for you to pick from. I would scroll through the menu settings on the camera and see if you spot anything like that
Am I able to transfer large numbers of photos from the Canon to my iPhone or computer through the wifi function? If I am taking photos with the camera and have my iPhone with me, will the photos automatically be transferred into the iPhone photos?
Hi Omar. Thank you for a very informative video. All the pictures you took are landscape in orientation. When using the ipad and shooting portrait, how can I get the display on the ipad to show portrait as well? Thank you again.
great video, connecting it to my iPhone was easy! I'm trying to connect the 70D to my Mac, and I am having no luck. the wi-fi instruction manual starts with "These instructions are continued from chapter 5"... great, chapter 5 of what? the main manual says it "does not have the wi-fi function explained in this manual".
***** unfortunately, no. Sorry. I gave up and deleted the software. must be a different team working on the Mac (if you can call it that) software, because the phone is pretty easy to set up!
I lost my old phone that was paired to my 70d .. got a new phone and I can't remember the password for my camera.. is there another way around that to pair the new phone? thanks !
Can I get WiFi for my Canon 70D I looked in the Canon menu But where WiFi should be , it isn’t there So can I get WiFi for my camera If not , do I have to buy a new camera
Hi I dont have the connection to laptop or pc destop icon come up on the screen of my canon. All other option such as transfer to phone or other cameras devices etc are all available.
When connecting to my laptop (Mac), it's asking me for a WPA2 password. if I ever set one up, I sure don't remember it. How and where can I RESET my password (or eliminate the need for a WPA2 password)? Please help. Cheers.
When I turn my screen on for remote shooting on the 70d it turns off after like 20 seconds of inactivity... can you disable this? It's supremely annoying! Thanks!
***** I also just bought the t6s on Saturday and I can not use the EOS remote with this camera says it's not compatible. I am using the Canon camera connect app. This app is the one that connects with my Canon t6s. If you get the EOS remote to work please let me know how you did it. Thanks, enjoy your new camera, I know I am.
Can't do video with the remote. But, it is awesome for taking shots of wild birds, animals, etc., where you want to me away from the camera for the nice close-ups!
hi. sir i want to shoot my jwelley and how to get very sharp photos wat should i do and kindly guid to me which lens i ll choose for jwellery shoot also with equpmet please tell me
When I use the remote shooting with a ipad my camera will not focus, the subject goes in and out of focus and I am not able to take a picture. Any ideas? Thanks
Are you using the touch screen on the iPad to tap on the spot that you want it to focus on. I believe it treats the iPad screen the same as it would on the 70D touch screen with the tap focus.
i am exactly doing what your doing here on my camera but why mine is not connecting..... this is so disappointing :( it's not connecting my iphone!!! HELP
+Omar Correa I see that. But what I want to do is film with my canon 70D and use my iPad as a monitor. To see myself not download pictures. Does that make sense?
I believe you can setup multiple phones, but only one can control it at a time. But if you have a team of people using the camera, you should be able to set them up so you can quickly switch between phones for controlling it.

Just ordered a brand new 70d....looking forward to have my baby in my hands!!
I just got my camera and it does not have all of the other settings in the menu, just a few pages. So, I don't have the wifi option. Help?
I had this camera a long time and finally connected to my phone. Thank you
I've tried several channels, but I can only solve the problem here with you, congratulations, have a great weekend.
Rui Santos happy to help
Hi thank you for this video with clear instructions! What app do you download for iPhone to connect with this process?
Thanks SO much, the video is easy to follow, and I had tried so many times to connect before, but today is the day. I truly appreciate your work! :)
Awesome. So happy to help.
This was for still pictures. What about video recording? Can we use smartphone for that?
Advait Thakur They've probably updated the app since I filmed this and it probably offers the ability to record video. Check out the app in the App Store and see the details.
Ok, Thanks 😊
Very good....now i have to get one. Love the wifi feature.
First, let me thank you for responding so quickly. The info you provided was very helpful. Keep up the good work.

Any experience with adding Google Photo ( not Google drive only) ?

Thanks, that was very informative. Ive been wanting to do this with my camera, but was unable to until now.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THIS WAS HELPFUL!I JUST SUBSCRIBED
Thanks for the video. Very helpful. I'm out of town without the manual. How can I view on the screen what I can see through the viewfinder?
Thanks , very helpful set up now with my Nexus7
Can you tell the camera to film through the other device controlling it or can you only use it to take stills?
Oh my god this was so helpful and very easy to do. Thank you.
no problem
This was the best video ever. I am so computer illitrate and this was so easy.
Happy to help
Merci bcp, grâce à votre vidéo j' ai réussie ✌🏻👍🏻 Au top les explications
*this seems to be a very nice camera. keep up the nice videos*
Good video, thanks. Will the Canon Camera Connect app work just the same with a 7D Mk2 with the optional wifi adapter SD card inserted?
I'm not sure. Sorry
Hola Omar,
Es posible que mientras la cámara este transmitiendo los archivos a una PC Windows, esta PC mantenga su conexión a internet, es decir mantener la comunicación con la camara y al mismo tiempo sostener internet?
Creo que sí, pero yo no lo he probado en un PC.
Talk about making it diffulcult - i own two EOS 70 d's - keep the instructions easy. use the easy connection option during set up !
Hi omar! Im using mobile data? Still can connect?. Tnx.
Wait the 80D doesnt disable the WiFi movie mode, does it? I dont recall it doing that with the Canon Camera Connect app... but then again this video was made in 2013 and lots has changed since then.
Super good video thx a lot I think that I am going to play a lot with this function!
Omar gracias por el tutorial, me gustaría saber como conectar mi cámara (70D) al ordenador. Tengo un MAC. Gracias !!!
great video good job
i need some help on how to set up my canon 70d for photos what are the best settings? beauty photos?
+amora beauty there's no "best settings" for every situation. But if you can help it, keep your ISO setting as low as possible. The higher that number is, the more grainy your images will appear, especially the dark areas.
thanks for that!!! It took a bit of sorting out but everything up and running to smart phone :-)
i love this camera too much,im gonna have one
How long can the 70d record video on a 32 gb sd card. What i want to know does it record video to the sd card limit, or does it still cut off at 30 mins.
Is there a remote focus ability available on WiFi or Bluetooth (80D vs T7i)?
1) Do I need a special card for my 70D to use this? 2)What is the range of operation when working remote? 3) Is this restricted to the I Phone only?
1. No
2. Not sure about range, probably as far as 100 ft
3. I believe they have an android app now also, but it also works with a computer with the included software
How did you get the app "eos remote" did you get it from the App Store or...
hi...if uh got any idea abt eos m2 plzz lemme knw...like how does it work n features...n zooming too
Do you know when tablets will be introduced, and on that theme is it possible to get updates to the OS for these cameras?
I don't know for sure

Hello Omar, thank you for the video! Have you tried connecting to the EOS Utility software? I'll be grateful for the help.
Only on my iPhone, not on computer
OK!... thanks you. I need to know if it works!...
I am using a Sony Xperia (Android phone). How do I download the right app to connect to my wifi.
Hi ..i have question. when I'm taking pictures i see in my camera that i took one shot and when putting in my computer i see that instead of one picture i have from the same pic but double. but i took a picture one time ...could you please help me. it is Cannon 70D thanks

if it is possible could you tell me where to go n fix it step by step ?plz..
Lusine Naljayan I would contact Canon directly or the store where you purchased the camera.
...change the "quality "setting to JPEG only. Most likely you have the camera set to shoot in Raw + JPEG
There is no laptop icon on my camera. I use Canon 750D btw, is it any different?? Thanks
Very helpful and informative. Thanx
Happy to help

Hi Omar. Thank you for a very informative video. All the pictures you took are landscape in orientation. When using the ipad and shooting portrait, how can I get the display on the ipad to show portrait as well? Thank you again.
I think you can just rotate it.
How do you setup wifi on a Nikon Coolpix S7000

You need lte or to connect to wifi.

Not sure why that would be happening. Sorry it's hard to trouble shoot these things without seeing your setup.

+Paul Scanlon dont think that's possible
man you are a fast talker.... thanks for the video :)
Hello, can you guys recommend which lens to buy for 70D for video recordings only. Thank you in advance
Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 Art Lens
Thank you, will this lens be good for longer distances such as 25-50 metres
Nope. Then get an 18-135mm

+MJ Podolig I believe it will focus where you tap on the iPhone screen
Can the WiFi send RAW files or only the smaller jpeg's?
Don't believe you can send RAW files, but you can send the largest JPEG files
When I turn my screen on for remote shooting on the 70d it turns off after like 20 seconds of inactivity... can you disable this? It's supremely annoying! Thanks!
