From the EOS Remote application, you can change the focus point on the camera and press the shutter button. The tablet screen basically functions as live view mode for your camera.

In the Remote Shooting mode, you can control the Canon 6d and take pictures using your tablet or smartphone. Right now, there are two main features in the EOS Remote application: Camera Image Viewing and Remote Shooting. Detailed instructions for the connection are located in the Canon EOS 6d Wi-Fi Function Basic Instruction Manual but establishing the connection was fairly intuitive. The camera also remembers the WiFi connections which is very handy if you connect over the same network. I easily connected the Canon 6d to the iPad using both modes. Using the Camera Access Point Mode can be really useful while in the field or somewhere a Wi-Fi connection is not available. Either using an existing wireless network (Infrastructure Mode) or the Canon 6d can create its own network (Camera Access Point Mode). The Wi-Fi connection can be established in two ways. In order to connect the Canon 6d and the smartphone/tablet, you need to download and install the “EOS Remote” application from the Apple App Store or Google Play. In this blog, I’ll cover the Wi-Fi connection to the iPad and the features available through tablets and smartphones. This new feature allows wireless connectivity to smartphones, tablets, wireless printers, TVs through media players, other Canon Wi-Fi equipped cameras, and personal computers using Canon’ EOS Utility.įor this blog, I tested connecting the Canon 6d with my 3rd generation iPad. Canon’s new full frame camera, the Canon 6d comes with a Wi-Fi feature.
