Step by Step Guide to connecting the Canon R5 C to the Canon Camera Connect App on an iPad
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 сер 2024
- I have been using the Canon Camera Connect App on my iPad with my Canon 5D Mark IV and love it. After purchasing my new Canon R5 C I wanted the same functionality. Here is a step by step walk through on how to connect your Canon R5 C with the Canon Camera Connect App on your iPad.
As a photographer I find it really helpful to show images to my clients in this large format during a photo shoot. Being on-location I move around my set up so this wireless tethering option is key. Plus I don't need another device attached to my camera to have this work, it's all within the camera communicating with the device. This streamlines my gear too.
Have a question? Let me know in the comments.
For gear:
I'm using the brand new iPad 15" with the M1 chip, however I have successfully completed this set up with an older iPad.

You're a life saver Nicole, thank you soooooo much!
Happy to help!
It ask me to register my Canon R5 and once it's registered the wifi connection say's "Permission is not set correctly. Check the setting and grant permission" The iPad see's the R5 and it wont connect because of the permission issue.
Thanks for the step by step instructions. Do you know how to download videos from the EOS R5C onto a MacBook Pro?
Hi. I'm happy you found the video helpful. My method to download video to my Mac is to take the CFExpress card in the camera and use a CFexpress card reader attached to my Mac to download the video. I hope this helps.
@@NicoleBedardPhotography Ok great. Could you recommend a CF Express card reader that will work well with the R5C?
@@rubencedeno-erazo3415 Yes! I'm waiting for this one to come back in stock on B&H ProGrade Digital CFexpress Type-B & XQD Single-Slot Thunderbolt 3 Workflow Reader
May I ask if you use Capture One on client shoots? I like to always shoot into C1 (to be able to make adjustments ets.) but I will also like to connect to the Canon Camera Connect (to use my phone as a remote). I find that I can't do that - do you know if this is possible? Thanks in advance Nicole 🫶
Hi! The iPad + Canon Camera Connect app is to only review the images in real time and tag with a star. There is no editing capabilities like C1 or Lightroom. The images are not even stored on the device, but only on the memory card in the camera. That's the main purpose.
If I was in a studio setting or doing a studio product shoot and wanted to be tethered I use Lightroom and not C1. It's what I started with over a decade ago and that is what I am comfortable with. Either is fine. I can remote shoot via lightroom
There is a "live" view in the camera connect app that would allow you to take an image from the camera, if that is what you are looking for. Let me know if this helps or if I confused the question.
Do you know if there is a setting to view the jpg version of the pic. I shoot RAW &jpg and when I connect, it only shows the Raw.
I'm unsure how to view just the jpg version. Having the RAW doesn't slow the app down, in my experience and if you send an image to your camera roll I believe it's a smaller file.
Hello Nicole, have you tried connecting your camera with a tethering cable? Whenever I do that my camera turns in a transfer mode and I can't shoot
Hi! Tethering still doesn't work with Canon R5C and Lightroom. I recently tested and it still didn't work. I have heard people having success with Capture One. I don't have that software and would like to stick with Lightroom.
Thanks a lot for answering back !@@NicoleBedardPhotography
how stable is that connection if you manage to keep the ipad on the whole time?
You definitely don’t want the iPad to sleep, but it’s more about the Wi-Fi connection. If you move too far away from iPad the connection will break and you need to re-establish it.
Sorry for the delay
Can you use the Canon Camera connect app when the R5 C is on video?
No. Unfortunately this app supports images only.
Does this app work slow? If yes, Is there any alternate?
Your internet connection will play a role in the speed.
Hello again i was planning to get a iPad for my R5C i have never used an iPad i have a MacBook but most of the shoot outdoor or at certain situation it is not possible to carry MacBook at everyplace . is spending on a iPad good idea for photo and video monitoring? i dont have a monitor while recording interview sessions i am guessing on the mini screen . i have raveneye from ray RS2 Pro combo. If a iPad which one to get and case protection ?
Hi! I’m glad you asked before purchasing. You can only view still images on the iPad using the canon connect app. There is no viewing of video unfortunately. I wish there was!
@@NicoleBedardPhotography i read on cam ranger website there is a way to control video
@@NicoleBedardPhotography i saw cam ranger 2 allows video recording and other function buy till R5
@@ishanagarwalphotography Oh sorry I didn't realize you were using cam ranger 2. I only use the canon connect app so I'm not familiar with that system.
@@NicoleBedardPhotography i havent used camranger but heard about it
How do you connect it in Video mode? that's my biggest problem, that I can't control video mode or so it seems
The app is very limited unfortunately. I don't believe there is a way to see video.
R5C has no Wifi function when in Video mode. UNLESS you buy the WFT handgrip.
dose it work for video?
Unfortunately it does not work for video. I wish it did.
How do I transfer videos from Canon R5 to my laptop or phone? I can only transfer pictures
Unfortunately the canon connect app only supports images and not video at this time. Annoying
А в режиме видео подключить камеру к телефону у меня не получилось. И я пологая что в режиме видео камеру соединить нельзя ! И это абсурд :(
is it possible to connect at a outdoor fashion shoot without a real wifi connection? we use bluetooth method or camera and phone just need to connect through wifi option
The wifi connection is via your camera. The R5 C has wifi so that is what you are connecting to. So yes, you can be outside in an remote area and still have the images flow to your ipad. The ipad is looking to connect to the camera. You are good to go! Have a great shoot.
@@NicoleBedardPhotography i dont have a ipad i have a oneplus phone. Infuture i will get a tablet
@@NicoleBedardPhotography thank you i was unscessful connecting at a shoot although shoot went well (the problem was i had too many wifi name and bluetooth name saved that caused problem in connecting) in a run n gun situation my didnt work to delete those saved wifi as this was my first time using mirrorless
@@ishanagarwalphotographyGot it! Yes when there are a lot of wifi's around it can impact the iPad and the camera connect. It's frustrating. Hopefully next time you can get some more time to setup and make the connection work.
@@NicoleBedardPhotography yes i will prepare before
I wish the Canon Camera Connect App would come up with a way to display the images in a grid view also so my headshot clients are able to view their images and compare one to the other more easily.
That would be great. Although you can see a grid of all the image, being able to select a few and bring that up for a client would be great. Thanks for stopping by.
@@NicoleBedardPhotography Nicole, I can only see them in a single column in the thumbnail view. Are we able to see more than the single column? Sometimes I will pinch and expand to enlarge them where they can view 3 at a time but that is all. I wish there was a way to see them in multiple columns to fill the screen. People do really enjoy viewing them on the Ipad. You have to watch out for some clients, they will try to shoot a photo of the screen.
air drop to a second ipad that you client is using.
Ugh, can’t get it to work on my iPad, only on android phone. When I choose the wi fi connection on the iPad it says “no internet connection “. Don’t know if that’s the problem or not. I’m using the latest version of the app.
This app can be frustrating. My first step would be to shut down your iPad fully. Shut off camera. And then try to connect again. I have also found that if the area you are in has a strong wifi that will negatively effect the performance too, like if you are in your house etc. But give that a try and see if it helps.
@NicoleBedardPhotography thanks I'll try. It also doesn't ask for a password and the camera doesn't seem to display one.
@@tmhart43 At the 2:22 mark in the video is shows you were the camera password is. At the 2:59 mark it's showing you when a password is trigger.
If you currently use a phone to use the app you need to create a brand new connection for the new device, the iPad. I hope this helps.
@Nicole, I called Canon support and the very nice gentleman walked me through set up. I mentioned that I was not seeing a password, and as it turned out, Under wi fi settings, I had “password “ set to “not required “. Once that was changed, I was able to connect.
Great information! Thank you so much for sharing.
And what about video mode?
The app It doesn’t support video. It would be great if it did.
I get to type in the password into the ipad but the software on the ipad still does not connect?
Are you seeing the camera wifi pop up in your wifi settings?
@@NicoleBedardPhotography after restarting everything and removing what I had sort of linked up, I was able to connect. Thanks for the follow up.
@@andywhiteing I'm so happy to hear it! Thanks for letting me know how you solved it. Happy Photo Shoot!
