Canon EOS Rebel T7 - Wireless Connection with an Android™ Device

Connecting your Canon EOS Rebel T7 digital camera to share photos on a wireless network with your compatible Android™ device.

[@billybegood466]

Thanks for this tutorial. My wife has a Rebel T7 and bought a wireless remote for it, but it turns out only the T7i has Bluetooth capability to work with a remote. While trying to figure out if there was a way to make it work I found your video and discovered that she doesn't even need a control to take pictures remotely. She was very happy to learn that.

Took me a few tries but I got it. Been using Canon and Minolta cameras since the 70s, but the DSLR is still mystifying! I miss my old B&W darkroom! Thanks for the help! Peace.

This was easier than I thought thanks!

how can i transfer MVI's? Ive tried using the camera connect and it says it doesnt support MVI's - which is what the files are for movies on the camera. thanks

[@CanonUSASupport]

Hello, The camera connect app does not support the transfer of the video files recorded by the Rebel T7, to your phone. You can transfer videos to your computer by using a USB interface cable and free EOS Utility app. You can also transfer video files to a computer with an optional card reader. If you have more questions, our camera support agents are happy to help.

I have issues after my phone got Android 10 update. Now a message is popping up asking to update my camera to latest firmware. Is there any other method to transfer pic??

Outdated. Does not show the later Camera Connect app. I am attempting to connect a T7 to a brand new Samsung S24. I follow the instructions plus ever combination of uninstall/install, reset and on/off. Most frustrating of all, it connects!... but only 1 time in 10 attempts. The other 9 attempts, it just sits there till the camera times-out.

Sadly, didn't work and the screens shown on the video for the app must have changed. Mine are different and it won't let me past the "Register The Camera" screen. So frustrated.

[@CanonUSASupport]

[@conwaygritty73]

Can you just connect a usb/ otg cable and transfer images from camara to android.

[@CanonUSASupport]

Hi. To transfer photos to an Android device, you would need to do so wirelessly using the Camera Connect App. We also recommend taking a look at image.canon for automatically uploading and sharing photos across multiple devices. Learn more at: canon.us/3FTzO2K

[@shannonmj1024]

How can I get my videos off my camera onto my android?

[@CanonUSASupport]

Hello Marie: If you wish to transfer the MOV movie files on your camera to a an Android phone or tablet, you will need to use an optional SD memory card adapter. This adapter will plug into your device and allow you to insert the SD memory card to be read by your Android device. You can then copy the files to your device. The Canon Camera Connect app does not support transfer of MOV files by Wi-Fi. If you have additional questions, our camera support agents are happy to assist you. For support, please register your product to under your Canon Account at the link: Canon.us/mcahy. Once you log into your account, click the [Service & Support] link and select the support method. We hope this helps.

After saving images onto my smartphone, I zoom in on the pictures and they look blurry, even if the focus is sharp on the Cannon camera. Why do the imported images look blurry??

[@CanonUSASupport]

Hi! We recommend talking to our US-based support squad so that they can go over your image transfer settings with you. Give them a call today at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666). Hope to help you soon!

[@jeshawkins3484]

For some reason, it seems the app compresses the images. I have the same issues with my camera to tablet, especially since it wants to convert raw files to jpg

[@M_EYESTORY_OURSTORY]

When I try and connect it display no internet why is that

Wait, I thought this camera can do NFC too. How do you NFC transfer photos?

[@CanonUSASupport]

Yes, your EOS Rebel T7 offers NFC capabilities. Make sure that feature is turned on in the camera's menu and then bring the "N" mark on the side of the camera near the matching "N" mark on other devices to get them to talk to each other. If you need more help, our US-based support squad will be happy to answer your questions at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666). Hope this helps!

Can I connect to my PC.. without a smartphone?

[@CanonUSASupport]

Hi! You can connect your EOS Rebel T7 to your PC using the optional interface cable IFC-200U. You can order this at canon.us/vjuh While the camera is not designed to communicate with a computer wirelessly, you can configure it to connect to Canon Image Gateway via a router and upload your images there. You can then log into Canon Image Gateway on your computer and download your photos and videos. We hope this helps!

Can I connect to my phone's mobile hotspot??

[@CanonUSA]

Hello Aaron You can connect your camera by using your phone’s hotspot as an access point. The next question is what is your goal in connecting to the hotspot? If you wish to transfer images to the phone or to control the camera remotely from the phone, the best option would be to use the Canon Camera Connect app. In this case you would connect to a network generated by the camera. Details on the Camera Connect app are in the Rebel T7 wireless manual at the link here: Canon.us/g3vjg. If you have more questions our camera agents can provide one-on-one support. For support you can log into your My Canon Account and register your product. Here is a link: Canon.us/mcahy Once registered click on your product and then select [Product Support] in the Product Details window You can then choose your preferred method of support. We hope this helps.

[@albertgerheim4149]

I tried it. Yes you can connect the camera to the phone's hotspot, but then where do you connect the computer? It's not really connected to its own hotspot.

[@miguelQR]

Not iPhones ???

[@amyramk7823]

not seeing it on the Google play store, was this app discontinued?

[@CanonUSASupport]

No. It should still be available in Google Play Store. If you are still having issues finding it, please try this link: canon.us/3GtL5JN We hope this helps!

We checked Google Play and found it. Keep in mind that we're Canon USA so we can only speak for what's available here in the United States. If you live in another country, we recommend contacting the Canon company that serves your part of the world. You can find them by visiting canon.us/globalsupport and clicking on the map.
