Canon M6 Mark II Canon Connect App

[@glennparayno1635]

Hi Peter, i’m a Canon camera user too and your videos are very informative, clear, and easy to follow. Thanks !! Cheers and keep safe !!

[@faspete2nd]

Thanks. Stay safe as well.

[@BryanMcGowan]

So many handy little features in this camera. The wifi shooting is awesome to get shots of yourself and transfering files to your phone lets me walk up to a couple, take a photo of them, flip to my phone, do a quick edit, and email it to them on the spot. Much better than a business card

[@faspete2nd]

I agree. This camera is packed with feature. I've enjoyed using it for day 1.

[@matthewperkins3036]

Peter once again you helping me learn more and more abode my Canon M6 Mark II and now my new Mac mini. Thank you so much for your videos. I see the attention to detail, the editing, the quality of the edits as well as the information that you are presenting. I been watching your videos for some time and just wanted to truly tell you how appreciative I am.

[@faspete2nd]

Thanks Matthew. I appreciate the comment. I'm happy my videos are helping.

[@andreask.6872]

Hi Peter, I came across your channel today and immediately watched all the Canon M6 Mark II videos, as I own this camera as well. Your video about the Canon Connect app is the best I've found on KZbin so far. Thank you so much for this and keep up the good work! Best regards from good old Germany, Andreas

[@faspete2nd]

Thank you very much.

[@Viewtoagrill]

I absolutely love the canon app!

[@faspete2nd]

Very useful for solo shooting. I use it all the time.

[@StuUreta]

Amazing tutorial!! I just bought this camera and already posted some pictures using these apps. thanks dude!!

[@faspete2nd]

Glad it was helpful! Enjoy the camera!

[@FadiDalati]

I just want to thank you for the series...... I was going back and forth about buying this camera (updating from M5), and your videos made the decision that much easier....... thanks a lot man!

[@faspete2nd]

Much appreciated. I'm happy I was able to help.

[@victoragoo7771]

Very helpful....thank you. Just got my camera yesterday and it’s overwhelming. Your tutorial is very helpful.

[@faspete2nd]

You are welcome. I have 20 more videos covering the camera. I hope they help.

[@BackyardHiker]

I've had this camera for a while now as well and I didn't know about remote access that you showed in this video. I did step by step with you and it worked perfectly. I have been having some great ideas on trying to capture some wildlife and now with this remote access, I think I can pull it off. Thank you so much for the tips and the how to. :)

[@faspete2nd]

That's fantastic! I'm happy to have provided some value to you and your efforts. Now get out and hike!

[@BackyardHiker]

@@faspete2nd HAHA! Will Do :)

[@FretboardVisualization]

Hey Peter, I've been watching your videos for several months since I got my M6mkii. I dig how you're chill and not an animated entertainer type. I've learned a lot, thanks! In my experience there is a lot of brand loyalty with camera gear. Most people (myself included) buy into the glass of one brand (and even one mount type). I am not a pro, but I consider myself an enthusiast. With that said, I've only owned one camera before my M6mkii. I guess this means, that I would not really be interested in other brand camera videos. This doesn't mean I would unsubscribe, but I would definitely skip any non-Canon content. I suggest to continue labeling the video with the camera brand. I also suggest finding more non-brand camera content to put in-between. I would like to watch more about your shooting wildlife. Maybe a new bird search series would be cool!

[@faspete2nd]

Thanks. That means a lot to me to hear what you think. This is exactly what I want to know from people that watch my videos. Canon 1 other brands 0. I appreciate the feedback.

[@Shalommmm]

Hello. Thank you for guidelines. I got this Camera in March and have not been able to use it well but watching your videos has been helpful.

[@Shalommmm]

Also I have a question. Why does the quality of pictures reduce when I transfer the pictures from the camera to my phone. I need help In fixing that. Thank you.

[@faspete2nd]

Glad I could help!

[@faspete2nd]

Maybe your phone converts the file down to a more manageable file size? Not sure.

[@Shalommmm]

@@faspete2nd I use the iOS phone. and I download my pictures with the Canon connect app. don’t know why it seems that way was hoping you could. But thank you for the response.

[@royhakala7999]

This is a clear and concise video. Thank you, Peter.

[@faspete2nd]

You are welcome. My videos might be a little long at times, but I try to add as much information as possible without all the "story telling B-roll".

[@joseacarrasm]

Your videos are the reference regarding the M6 Mk II. I think there is more options and videos that you could make about this Camera.

[@faspete2nd]

I agree. There is still a lot that can be covered. More videos to come. Thanks.

[@AhmadAbdelAzim]

I have always used wifi to connect to the camera, I even assigned a function button to open the wifi menu to make it easier, and I just realized I can just pair it with Bluetooth and it'll do the rest wow! big thanks for the tip, now I have extra button I can assign whatever i want xD and for the giveaway I think it's your right to pick whoever you want, youtube has nothing to do with it and last thing about the camera if you have a any camera shop around you try to make some kind of deal where you borrow the camera and review it instead of buying a new one just to review :) there is camera conspiracies gets all the gear for a shoutout (I think 😂)

[@faspete2nd]

Being a solo shooter I use the app all the time. It saves me so much time while shooting and I was surprised how easy it was to transfer with Wi-Fi option. Camera Conspiracy guy is very entertaining. He is so random with his comments. I'm in Arizona and there is a camera shop here called Tempe Camera. Could be a good option to look into. Thanks.

[@glenloderhose5331]

Your series on the M6 have been very helpful I do have the camera and I love it. I do wish you would do a video on different lenses for the M6 and tripods. Thanks

[@faspete2nd]

I do have 2 lense videos up on my site right now. Trinity of lenses for APSC cameras and and the best vlogging lens. Not sure if you saw them or not. I'll see what I can do covering more "accessories" like tripods, microphones, lighting, and other stuff. Thanks for the input.

[@MEEKSREVIEWS]

Been Watching your videos(and also My Camera Bag, and Roger Hansen) since I got the camera last March this year and it helped me a lot on the work that I do, I'm also applying your way of making tutorials on my videos as well. I'm still gonna rewatch your m6 mark II series and still get connected in your channel. When it comes to your giveaway, I think youtube has nothing to do with it. 10-18mm lens would be perfect

[@faspete2nd]

That's great! Good luck with your channel. So far it looks like people are here for Canon content and I'm fine with that. Canon 4 other brands 0.

[@AspireToInspireLIU]

IS MY CAMERA OR COMPUTER SUPPOSE TO BE CONNECTED TO LIKE MY HOME INTERNET WIFI?? BECAUSE IT WORKS (THANKS FOR TUTORIAL!!) BUT THE TRANSFER FROM CMAERA TO COMPUTER TOOK SOOOOOO LONG. DO YOU KNOW HOW TO MAKE IT TRANSFER FASTER..??

[@faspete2nd]

The transfer does take a long time and I don't think there is a workaround. I think it has to do with the signal coming out of the camera. It's not fast enough to transfer the files any quicker.

[@mikethomas3498]

Thanks again for your videos Peter, I enjoyed this one. I enjoy having the ability to come back and revisit past videos you have made. Thanks

[@faspete2nd]

This was a fun one to make. Well, they are all fun, but this one was in the works for 3 months. I cut a lot out of the video explaining all the problems I had trying to create it. Memory cards failing me, weather getting in the way, premiere pro crashing, camera angles not working, uploading different frame rates, and forgetting to turn on my microphone. It was a mess, but I had a great time doing it.

[@faspete2nd]

Thoughts on sticking to Canon or introduce other brands? I'm leaning to sticking with Canon, but I'm interested in your opinion.

[@mikethomas3498]

@@faspete2nd I’m glad you were able to finish it. That is one of the tasks us techies have, having everything work without any problems. I’m sure you could create other videos just troubleshooting some of the issues you had. That’s why people ask you, because you’re a resource now. Keep up the good fight

[@mikethomas3498]

@@faspete2nd give it some thought, go in the direction that you think you want to go. I found your channel because you were showing me how to use the Canon M6 Mark two. I still reference back when I wanted to do something. So I’m not figuring it out while I’m shooting. I only have canon, and good canon glass. I only shoot high school sports. I will say it’s a challenge to use the M6 , I keep going back to my 5D3. Maybe it’s the smaller sensor in the end six that makes things difficult, I was hoping to use the frames per second that are much higher with this camera versus my 5D 3. Trying to use the tracking and auto focus around the basketball court with 10 players is quite challenging. The only one that has to be satisfied at the end of the day is yourself, enjoy what you do and stick with it.

[@faspete2nd]

@@mikethomas3498 thanks. I appreciate the thought and advise.

[@jineeshpr]

Once again, Thanks Peter. I watch all your videos. Learned a lot from all your videos. Your idea seems fine. Don’t see any issues with that. But prefer that you stick to Canon 😀. Probably you can start photography series

[@faspete2nd]

Thanks. It looks like most people agree with sticking to Canon.

[@mattcero1]

Great primer man! Quick question sir. I'm torn between this camera and the Fuji X-S10. Did you compare the two before buying and what swayed you to get the Canon? Thanks Peter.

[@faspete2nd]

The reason I went Canon is the tracking and auto focus ability. The X-S10 is okay but not as good. I do wildlife photography and a lot of fast moving subjects so i wanted the better rated canon. If i was not doing wildlife I would go with Fuji and the stabilization. Having stabilization in fantastic.

[@faspete2nd]

Noted. Thanks for the input. So far it's all Canon.

[@matthewperkins3036]

Peter Second Comment same video - LOL. As far as your question is concerned about other brands of Camera I would say, "No" but new Canon's absolutely. You are so knowledgeable with your Canon Camera, Canon Software, and Canon Lens. So if anything I would continue this channel only for Canon Specific topics, but create a 2nd Channel for that specific type of Camera you choose. Just my idea. Hope you like it, but either way I will support what you do.

[@faspete2nd]

Thanks Matthew. If you are still watching my channel I am doing just that. I'm sticking with Canon content. My second channel has stated up, but it's completely different content. It's a whisk(e)y channel. Whiskey is a Journey. If you are into whiskey feel free to check it out.

[@dmene77]

That is great P. Keep your hard work and yes explore new technologies and cameras, why not.? This way you can for sure try new things and find the best suit for you. I believe any video you been doing with the same dedication as you had done with M6 MK2 will be beneficial for everyone. You help me a lot and I do believe you can help more!

[@faspete2nd]

Thanks 👍

[@jesusconde4317]

Hi Peter Does the mark 2 firmware update is valid for my mark1?

[@faspete2nd]

I don't know the answer to that. My guess would be no.

[@Tenzordk]

Hi, I am also here for Canon inspiration. Remember that there are a lot of review channels, so maybe find an angle you enjoy. Maybe you can focus on the reviews and your bird thing 🤔

[@faspete2nd]

I like my no fuss approach to the reviews so I think I will stick to that. If you have seen my other videos you will notice I get to the point without all the B-Roll. I talk a lot, but don't belabor the point of the video by adding all the "extra" stuff or "story telling". I try to be as concise as I can and give as much information as I can as quick as I can. I have taken the camera out a few times detailing how I use the it in the field (birding, kayaking, fishing, camping and hiking), but that's a completely different workflow that I still need to refine before I release a video about how I use the camera.

[@Tenzordk]

@@faspete2nd also why I watch this content 👍

Thanks! I'm enjoying the M6 Mark II a lot.

[@AjaySingh-228]

@@faspete2nd you are welcome sir

[@RogerAVHansen]

Just a thought, but if you look at my channel and then your channel, you got more subscribers and got monetized on fewer videos then me. I think that's because you stick to the M6 mark II and only that and I'm all over the place 😄 Another reason could be that the quality of your videos might be better than mine 😊 I understand that you want to try out other cameras, that's why I've not stuck to just that camera. You might loose some of your followers that has subscribed to you because of the M6 mark ii if you change camera, or system all together, but you might also gain new ones that find you from your new content. It's just a chance you have to take. My philosophy is that I want to make videos that gain traction, but I also want to make videos that I want to make, not just cause thats the kind of videos that the viewers want. If I only make videos for the viewers then I won't find this interesting anymore. I think you should do what you want to do so you don't loose interest, but gain more knowledge about other camera gear 😊 You could also keep the M6 mark ii and make comparison videos, just to keep the M6 mark ii content going 😊 Anyways, that's just my thoughts 😊 I am curious on what new camera you have in mind though 😉 My first guess is the R6 😊 but it could also be the R5... 😊

[@faspete2nd]

Thank you Roger. As always a well thought out comment. I appreciate your feedback, but I'm still not telling you what camera I'm getting. You just have to wait for the unboxing. I like your videos and there is nothing wrong with the quality of them. Keep doing what you do and growth will come.

I'll most likely be sticking with Canon and doing a giveaway at certain milestones. 5,000, 10,000, 20,000 and so on. IF I get there. I can't imagine getting those types of numbers, but we will see.

[@miba8303]

thanks it is nice but computer connection asks me to change something on my firewall also this ios application asks about using precise location which is strange for what tf canon need precise location and i cannot connect computer via wifi cause app cannot makes change on firewall so ....once more thanks but this is strange application

[@faspete2nd]

I don't think the app is asking for the computer to change the firewall requirements. I thinks it's the computer "protecting" itself from an unknown app.
