I have the Canon T6i, but I'm not sure if my iPhone is compatible. How can I check if it supports the Camera Connect app?
How does this wireless connection compare to using a direct cable connection for transferring photos? Is one better than the other?
Using Wi-Fi is generally more convenient as you can transfer files without dealing with cables. However, a direct cable connection may be faster for larger file transfers and doesn't rely on battery life.
I recently connected my Canon T6i to my iPhone, and it was a bit tricky at first. Make sure to follow the steps closely! I accidentally skipped the Wi-Fi settings on my camera and had to start over. Once I got it right, transferring photos was super easy and fast. I loved using the remote shooting feature for some group photos!
That's great to hear! Was there any lag when you were using the remote shooting feature? I'm curious how responsive it is.
I disagree with the suggestion to always keep both devices fully charged. I often connect them when one is at a lower battery level, and it still works fine for transferring a few photos.
