Thanks for the tutorial. What is the "quad pod" your sx740 hs is sitting on?

[@raffaelaleone1591]

Grazie mi hai aiutato moltissimo 🤩😘

[@the_daniel_life]

You are welcome. Daniel

[@Jazzyjon30]

Great help, thank you. Always paranoid of the thought of loosing pictures, or how to secure them on a trip. I have a Motorola Z2 phone, the video option does not display at all, not even the icon. Is this because of the type of phone i am using?

[@khankeooupravanh3698]

Great, thanks a lot :)

[@the_daniel_life]

You are welcome

[@jeffcardillo9127]

Question can the camera sync automatically without using the app once you have paired the first time? Or do you have to connect to the camera's wifi each time? Thank you

[@the_daniel_life]

Hi, this is now possible with the updated version of this app. Daniel

[@Niko0.0.0]

So much help

[@the_daniel_life]

[@ianl.9271]

Is there a clean hdmi output so that the camera can be used for livestream?

[@the_daniel_life]

Yes, there is one

[@vallilazzarini7931]

But the connection does automatically remain on or I have to connect it every time that I turn off the camera ?

[@the_daniel_life]

the connection to the connected device will be kept. Daniel

[@samiremi3555]

Hi I got got the same one 4K how I get 4K videos or good quality photos there is any options or the secret on the sd card and tips for that please

[@govinda5870]

Thanks for the information. Is there any other camera which can be controlled by phone ?

[@the_daniel_life]

hello, any other camera by Canon with the Canon App.

[@EvilGenius.]

Can you transfer video the same way to your phone like the photos?

[@the_daniel_life]

yes, but with older cameras that does not always work. Daniel

[@justatouchofblush-velma]

Can we add a wide angle or fish eye lens to this camera?

[@the_daniel_life]

Hello, no that is not possible. Daniel

[@justatouchofblush-velma]

Thank you.

[@troigrl]

Thanks for that information. I was wondering how one Tags the location of the shot

[@AmberlyKay]

Troy Jackson same 🌻✨

[@TheQueenPalace]

Hey do it take a long time for the videos/pix to import? It takes long and frustrating when I wait and it doesn't successfully send sometimes

[@troigrl]

TheQueenPalace I done the inport a few times but I don’t remember my steps. I usually do it from camera to iPhone though

[@TheQueenPalace]

@@troigrl well I thought I was too..lol so what are you doing to get your pics n videos to your phone quickly

[@troigrl]

TheQueenPalace I think the key is to use your on phone as the hotspot. You check it says connected

[@therichieconway]

Can you livestream with this to a computer directly, or through something like an Atem Pro Mini?

[@the_daniel_life]

Hello, it‘s possible using the HDMI-port and this adapter -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5S8q4l-r7ylY9k

[@jessonzacharia8744]

Sir can we use mic by this method,

[@the_daniel_life]

nope. This camera does not support an external microphone. Internal yes.

[@OfficialNetDevil]

Excellent video, is there a way to live stream with this? I was thinking about OBS.

[@the_daniel_life]

Yes, you need this device for device foe doing so -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5S8q4l-r7ylY9k

[@aniie92m]

What about the videos? Are we able to view them on the app? I can’t seem to watch them on my phone

[@edwinquevedo9195]

Yes you can, but not 4k videos🤔

[@linuhamid5660]

@@edwinquevedo9195 is there anyway for the 4k videos to be supported on a phone?

[@madisonb.9384]

When you say download images can you also download videos?

[@the_daniel_life]

With some phones it will work, with some it will not.

[@madisonb.9384]

the daniel life will it work with iPhone 6?

[@cwb348]

Can I transfer from camera to pc without taking out the memory card? I was also told that the memory card is reformatted for the camera/phone connection and cannot then transfer to the pc without using the cable?

[@Itsme-so3vk]

Can sx740 focusing in definite area by tap on phone display?

[@the_daniel_life]

Yes, this works 👍🏼

[@Itsme-so3vk]

@@the_daniel_life is it true? I seem you not understood me. Can i remote focusing by tapping on phone screen?

[@sofabike]

Can you use phone as an external microphone ? I have Canon sx704hs unfortunately it has NO external microphone jack (connector)

[@the_daniel_life]

No you can`t. Otherwise I would have highlighted this feature. Daniel

[@samr4779]

But does it get the audio from you're phone?

[@sashaboo292]

Can you download your videos to?

[@the_daniel_life]

Yes, with some phones it works. If you see the video files inside the app it works.

[@tctan7895]

how to connect whit bluetooth?

[@the_daniel_life]

As shown in this video. Bluetooth is just for remote control, not for transfering files

[@TheQueenPalace]

Hey im trying to upload videos from camera to my laptop wirelessly. I downloaded the canon software received a message that images are sending but nothing was actually sent over to my laptop.

[@the_daniel_life]

Well, I never tried doing so. Are you connected to the same wifi-network? Daniel

[@TheQueenPalace]

@@the_daniel_life I figured it out eventually. Thx

[@AVOSLUCY]

@@TheQueenPalace How did you do it ? Having the same issue.

[@TheQueenPalace]

I honestly don't remember but be certain that it's connected to your wifi and try re-insalling the app on your phone and computer. It takes awhile but I prefer uploading it to my phone app rather than using my computer. That has been helpful and quicker.

[@the_daniel_life]

Thanks for sharing this. Daniel

[@BCool11717]

When in live mode if you tap the image on your cellphone what happens? Does it focus on that specific point, refocus generally, take a photo or does it do absolutely nothing?

[@niklassarri108]

I cannot make bluetooht connection work, only wi-fi, and that is pretty slow. Do you or anyone else have trick that works? Thanks in advance.

[@the_daniel_life]

Hello, it depends on the phone as well. Did you make any firmware updates for the camera? Try to use the latest version of the „Canon Camera Connect“ app. Daniel

[@niklassarri108]

@@the_daniel_life No, did not thought of firmware! Ok, see if the latest version is installed. Maybe it is time for another phone then my Cheap-Charlie Xiaomi A1. But thanks, check this. And if doesnt work, at least I have my wi-fi set up - thanks to your tutorial!

[@niklassarri108]

@@the_daniel_life I got the bluetooth remote controller to work if I turned off wi-fi on the camera, so one step forward. Still have a question: Should it be possible to use bluetooth for downloadning pictures from the cam to your phone?

[@BrittandCj]

How to get a video to download to your phone?

[@the_daniel_life]

Same as with photos. Some phones donot support video files to download. Daniel

[@fickfock8169]

did you say the camera has its own wifi network? 😧

[@the_daniel_life]

It does create a wifi to share files, but it's not a server. Daniel

[@karlaguevarra9232]

Why i have no option to use the video? Only to capture photos?

[@the_daniel_life]

there should be. If not the phone or the camera does not support it --> kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJiopaeVl7ybZ9k

[@tonyborg4510]

How to transfer videos?

[@the_daniel_life]

Same principle. Watch this video for confirmation -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJiopaeVl7ybZ9k

[@jourdinsellers4671]

I actually just did this myself before I seen this video that step at 2:14 you gonna confuse people just click do not display

[@nancyk3191]

I have done this and successfully have transferred photos to the Camera Connect app on my smartphone. However, I want them saved to my phone, and when I import them to my phone, and hit "open photo app" I get the message in my photo gallery app "unsupported file." Now what?

Hey there. Is the problem solved now? They have a new app now, with more features from the past. Daniel
