Canon 5D Mark IV Wireless "tethering"

A “how-to” video explaining the ins and outs of sending images via wifi to either Lightroom or an iPad with the Canon 5D Mark IV.
EDIT This can be done with RAW files as well, but it takes 15-20 seconds per image so I wouldn't recommend it. However, RAW images will transfer to the iPad nearly instantly.

[@theoell2049]

The problem is with the tablet connection is,when the client watching the images in full screen and the photographer taking pictures,the new pictures taken in that moment cant be seen unless you go back to thumbnail mode and again back to the full screen mode.I dont know if this true in every device.Any other way for fast wireless tethering on tablet without the need to to use the speedlight hot shoe because is needed for the trasmitter.Maybe there is a third party app can use with canon 5d mark iv and be able to see photos full screen all the time.Nice video.Thank you!

I’m absolutely blown away that he would not include how big the files are that you were transferring. Whether they were RAW or JPEG once going to the iPad.

[@ScottDumas]

My apologies for that. I did make a note in the video description afterwards because I missed it in the video. I assumed any 5DIV users watching this would know about the file size but still should have included as much information as possible. Sorry again!

[@ericjamesphotography]

No worries brother, I enjoyed the rest of it! I didn't know if raw files or jpgs were used in the Canon app. And if jpgs were used which ones. L, M, or S.

[@ScottDumas]

In the video I used the largest jpg to transfer, then tested RAW files separately afterwards, way too long on the computer though. :)

I'd like to see remote shooting!

[@Andr3PIX]

I’ve used it before and it’s pretty straight forward. Instead of clicking the shutter button your camera, you click the one on your screen to take a photo. I must emphasize though that once you’re using Remote shooting, everything appears as it would in live view and not how you would see it through the viewfinder. You can start and stop recordings as well...and the best part of it is the touchscreen auto-focus, just as you would use the touchscreen of a smartphone camera to focus on a subject.

[@Avacaod3000]

What is the OS on your iPad? You can't seem to use Camera connect with the iPad with an older OS. I'm using a Canon 5D IV, but I have 12.5.6. on my iPad. Highest I can update to. Otherwise... I'm just not doing it right. It gets as far as "Pairing with the computer in progress" but it never goes farther. When I go to the Canon Camera Connect app on the iPad, it shows the name of the 5D IV, but the small wifi icon, next to the camera name isn't active.

[@dukenu100]

tethering wirelessly consumes battery power on the 5dmkiv incredibly fast, just saying. I use wired connection and that works best for me.

[@tinasimaika]

Nice Video Thx. Unfortunately, the picture just taken can not be displayed as full-screen... disappointed (Canon Camera Connect)

[@ScottDumas]

劉建宏 Thanks for watching :) Do you mean like displaying the image/live view edge to edge on the screen (like full screen mode on KZbin for example)? That's an interesting point. I think that would be a really nice feature! I'll definitely suggest it to them and hope they add it in sometime :)

[@CI777]

thanks for the reply. Actually I mean the photo into "images on camera" Shows full-screen of the new shot ^^

[@CI777]

[@ScottDumas]

劉建宏 Ah yeah, that's really annoying. Considering some of the things they updated recently I was surprised that wasn't fixed. :( I'd also love to be able to see the histogram in live view. Hopefully soon!

[@CI777]

Yes! Hopefully soon ^^

[@dominiquerichardson]

**update reading is key** read the comments so never mind i found the video can you test remote shooting from the ipad....i would like to know how much control you have over your camera via the ipad ...maybe nfc and gps data as well...

[@ScottDumas]

:) Hope it helps! Thanks for watching!

[@kampen212]

Is it possible to transfer the files on JPG but still shoot in RAW? maybe by shooting in one card in raw and in the other card in jpg? thanks a lot, great video

[@ScottDumas]

Hi! Thanks for watching and commenting. It's definitely possible, like you said- if you shoot one card in raw and the other in jpeg you can choose from in the app which card you'll transfer images from. You can even switch back and forth from one card to the other. As for the max distance I've never tried it scientifically myself but I've heard at least 30 feet works without any issues. Hope that helps! Thanks again :)

[@alisonsantiago815]

Scott, thank you for the video. With the new camera connect app, does anything changes? I'm trying to get away from wired tethering during studio shoots and would like to explore more of the wifi method. Your advice will be greatly appreciated.

[@felicianmutakyawa7360]

[@harishankarstills4182]

Nice sir...

[@derekmack]

You can view the wireless images on a phone, but not set adjustments

[@ScottDumas]

It may depend on which camera you're using... different cameras have different abilities in the app from what I've heard.

[@bensmith2719]

Great video thanks! I am doing some mobile studio shots for the school fete. Looking for the best way to have an assistant show people images to choose to buy, whilst I continue to shoot. I think Lightroom is more flexible for this but looks slow transfer. Have you found a way to speed this up since releasing this video? Thanks for your help

[@barbarayasuhara3406]

I'd like it to shoot to an iPad at different location is that possible??

[@giovannifilippi_]

Hi, it is possible to save raw photo on cf and jpg low quality on sd and trasmitt these jpg on iPad in real time? Please how I can do this with canon 5D mark IV ? 🙏🏻

[@jdh_images]

Thanks for this - how quickly do RAW files appear? - Can previews on iPad appear full screen rather than having to click thumbnail ?

[@ScottDumas]

Jim Haviland no problem! Through Lightroom like this it takes about 15+ seconds to send a RAW file 😳 On the iPad you can view them full screen but it doesn't auto update to the next image when you take it so you'd have to go back to the thumbnails. You can scroll back and forth full screen between the images that were already transferred when you went full screen though and the RAW files are sent to the iPad almost instantly as well.

[@kampen212]

And do you know the max distance that the device has to be from the camera?

[@JMDPhotography-Chi]

Nice videos just watched a few of your videos tonight going to subscribe. How did you come to live in Japan? Just curious

[@ScottDumas]

Jason Davis Thanks so much! I appreciate that. I started out teaching English here then met my wife and got really settled in so I stayed. :)

[@nicolazucca]

Hi @Scott its me again. I bought a MBP to teathering with canon 5d mark IV. I want to use Lightroom classic. Followed your steps but I stuck at 4:34 . When I shoot a picture, absolutely nothing happens on Lightroom, only the Eos utility pops up the preview photo

[@ScottDumas]

Hi! Is Lightroom's auto import folder accurate to where the photos are being imported to through EOS utility? I honestly haven't used this in a while so I'm not sure if anything else has been updated/changed but I would think if that auto import folder is accurate, and you just ignore/minimize EOS utility that it should work. Maybe double check where EOS utility is saving the photos and try to re-link that. Let me know if that doesn't help.

[@shannonhutchisonphotography]

I can connect to my computer but when my camera goes to sleep the wifi connection is gone, I have to go back in and delete all previous information and reconnect. This was the same doing it with both quick connect and the other, do you have any tips? I am connecting to a Mac laptop. Thanks!

[@ScottDumas]

Hi! Unfortunately I'm not sure what's happening there... for me, if the camera goes to sleep or even if I completely disconnect and reconnect again, I can re-use the same settings and don't have to delete or start from 0 each time... If I'm able to recreate the problem I'll try and find a way around it and let you know though.

[@nukulardave]

does anknow to get the authentication code through to the canon i mage gateway on the 5D IV???? its saying press a cloud button lol which i cant find and i'll get a numeric code through to enter into the program on the pc.....lets face it itotally lost

[@clickonmike]

The feature that I think makes up grading from the 3 to 4 worth while is the frame grab from video. I've used it and found it fantastic, would like your opinion.

[@ScottDumas]

clickonmike I think it's an interesting idea but it doesn't excite me personally. I don't often shoot 4k but even if I did, typically I'd be shooting at 1/50 or 1/60 of a second, which would probably give motion blur in stills depending on what the subject is. Although, If I know I'll be needing to get grabs from it ahead of time I can plan for that (possibly getting some choppy video with higher shutter speeds) or it could save me in a pinch where I missed a key moment (I think that's ideally what it's best for). Not to mention the intense file size of the 4k video. I'd love to hear more about how it's worked out for you. Give me some insight into what situations you found it useful. Thanks so much!

[@PeterFritzWalter]

Why did you not cover the remote-shooting part? I have done it last night with my Android Phone and it worked fine, except that the image you get is so tiny that the whole thing is not worth it. So I was curious to see how big the image is on an iPad?

[@ScottDumas]

***** Sorry about that! I do have a few other videos covering the app more in depth (including a thorough overview of the remote shooting) if you want to check them out. I'll put links for them here. They're screen capture videos though so you can't see the size of the iPad but the images are more or less full screen so the size of the image will just depend on the size of your iPad. Here are the other videos I have on the app (it's a playlist): kzbin.info/aero/PLkj51imShZ9ouxscwd-nDFJZm1ozj98YP

[@Bosun25]

Why oh why can't the camera and the iPad communicate without outside wifi

[@ScottDumas]

You should be able to create a hotspot from the camera to connect to, I don't think you need an outside/existing wifi network

[@IbizaHaus]

Great I really appreciate.

[@ScottDumas]

Ibiza Haus Thanks for watching! :)

[@LeonSandoval]

Dude, this is GREAT! Thank you for posting! 2 Questions: 1) Have you tried testing Photo Mechanic instead of Lr? I feel like the import process is what likely slows it down. I have a client who would like previews on a big screen during commercial shoots and I’d probably go that route as I only import the final keepers to Lr. 2) Can you select Raw+JPEG shooting and change the JPEG size to small so it transfers faster? We will download the Raws traditionally and only use JPEG previews for proofing. Any insight appreciated since I don’t have a 5DMk4 to test it with!

[@ScottDumas]

Hey! Thanks so much :) And great questions. I haven't used Photo Mechanic myself, though I probably should as I've heard quite a lot about it. And I'm honestly not sure about the second question but I will try it out and get back to you, I'm interested myself as well. If I forget to update you on that, feel free to get in touch with me directly through facebook or email, [e-mail]. Thanks again!

[@LeonSandoval]

Scott Dumas thank you so much! And definitely check out Photo Mechanic. It’s blazing fast even with 45MB Raw files! This allows you to make selections swiftly and keep that Lr Catalog from bloating too much. 😉

[@ScottDumas]

Hey, so sorry it took me so long to get back to you on this. I tried out setting EOS Utility to only import the jpegs to the computer when shooting RAW+jpeg, and set the jpeg quality to a couple of the smaller settings and it still took around 6 seconds to show up in lightroom, faster than in this video, but still not blazing fast. Anyway, setting up the file transfer can be done pretty easily through EOS Utility. You can select to save the images to your computer only or to the card as well, and also have the option to save only the jpegs to the computer when shooting in RAW+jpeg mode. So, at least that part can be done. Hope it helps and sorry for the delay!

[@nunofarizo]

Great vid! Do you know any alternative to canon’s app that automatically shows the latest photo?

[@ScottDumas]

If you have some other accessory, like CamFi or Case Air, I believe they have their own apps to work with wireless tethering.

[@BeckImpressions]

Cool, thanks! If you use the Canon software on the iPad to select images, is there a way to sync those selections with the raw files on camera when those get imported into Lightroom for editing later? Thanks for the tips because this is exactly what I was looking to do.

[@ScottDumas]

Thanks for watching! I don't think there's any automated way to do that unfortunately... you may be able to give star ratings in the app that might import when you load them into Lightroom, but I haven't tried it to be honest so can't say for sure.

[@adriandavidpayne]

Is there a way to make the last photo taken appear Large on the iPad and continue from there with each subsequent photo appearing Large on the screen?

[@ScottDumas]

I wish there was, one of the downfalls of the Canon app. If you use something like the CamFi with their app, it will do that for you though

[@adriandavidpayne]

@@ScottDumas Man, that is a HUGE Bummer. Thanks though!

[@jake0lson]

Hey Scott- How far away from the computer can you be? What kind of range does the wireless tethering have?

[@ScottDumas]

Hi! I'm not sure of the absolute max, I can test it outdoors once the rain stops in a few days, but I've been able to use it up to about 20 meters (over 60 feet) between rooms in the house with my computer.

[@jake0lson]

Scott Dumas If you’re also curious, that’d be awesome. But not necessary. The 60ft answer helps immensely for my purposes right now. Thanks!

[@ShaneIrwin7]

Should be as long as you have a wifi signal. Go too far away from the house or studio, and it stops working, just like wifi on an iPad or something.

[@vashani82]

Hey. Great Video. Thanks. Can one download the Canon Camera Connect app on the Mac Book Pro from the App Store and tether using that instead of the Eos Utility?

Is there a solution for "camera is not recessed" on you iMac? I us the canon 5D iv and the iMac OS X El Captain. I Like to here from you!

[@ScottDumas]

Leonard van der Kuijl I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean by "camera is not recessed"... are you having issues connecting? Via wifi only or also with USB? I'm using Sierra so I can't comment directly about El Captain's performance but I haven't heard anything in particular. Let me know more detail and hopefully I can help! :)

[@melissatenney5403]

Thanks for the video. Very informative. I have a question. I tried to shoot tethered with a Canon 5Dm4 and a mac laptop using Lightroom. I couldn't get it to work. In the middle of the screen was a box that kept switching between "EOS Canon 5D Mark IV" and "No camera detected." It would spend about one second on each message. Any suggestion on how to fix this?

[@ScottDumas]

Thanks for watching! :) That sounds very strange. I have no problems keeping my mark IV connected- if it keeps going in and out like that it sounds like somethings up with the signal. Are you using the mark IV's wifi or an existing network? If an existing network, the signal could be a little weak? If not there is the possibility something is up with your camera's wifi... have you tried connecting it to a phone or iPad? If so, were you able to connect then? If that's ok then it helps narrow down the issue. Let me know! :)

[@abhawna]

Where can I find EOS utility app? I searched entire app store and cannot find it

[@ScottDumas]

The app on the phone is called "Canon Camera Connect" or something along those lines. EOS Utility app for the computer would probably be downloaded from Canon's website, a google search should bring up the latest version for you :)

[@abhawna]

Daniel Morales Hey thanks for watching! At first they're just previews (though you're able to zoom in quite far and still get a clear image) but you do have the option to go in manually and save the files (jpg or raw).

[@beauphomasterpiece3795]

Scott Dumas Will it import photos that’s already on the card ? Because I wouldn’t want that

[@peterjacksonphoto]

Hi Scott, I see you mention you're using Sierra in a comment below is that right? I just can't get Utility 3 to install properly on my (latest) version of Sierra..finally got Utility 2 to work but I don't think that supports the 5D 4's wifi capabilities...

[@ScottDumas]

Hi! I currently have Sierra 10.12.6 (not sure if that's the latest but I haven't updated super recently so probably not). My current version is still working for me but I usually try to avoid updating immediately for those reasons. If there is an issue hopefully it's fixed soon!

[@00imprezaRS]

Scott do you know if this works the same way when the camera is not in live view? For example, me walking around shooting a scene and an assistant following me around refreshing the preview on the iPad.

[@ScottDumas]

I believe it does, but can't remember 100% off the top of my head. If you need me to check just let me know :) I'm also testing out the CamFi wireless tethering system now which seems to be pretty cool for tethering on the go, regardless of the camera you use :)

How to connect or share photos from canon5d mark3 to smartphone

[@ScottDumas]

I don't think that camera has built in wifi, so without some sort of additional accessory you aren't able to do that directly.

[@angelisone]

Can you do live-view on cell, tablet and computer at the same time? You only showed wirelessly from one at a time. What is the maximum distance to view live-view & take the shots?

[@ScottDumas]

angelisone Good questions! I'm fairly certain you can only connect to one device at a time (definitely not tablet/phone and computer at the same time because they're different choices in the camera's wifi menu settings). I'll check it out though and get back to you to let you know for sure. As for the distance, I'll try and check into that as well. :)

[@angelisone]

Scott Dumas, Canon has made no improvement in regarding to live-view. Just like Sony WILL NOT allow live-view onto a computer, while all their cameras are live-view based. Our Canon EOS-1D X and EOS-1D X Mark II have defective sensors by shooting and using live-view. After one year, you are down on your lucks because Canon is not going to fix/replace for free. Be careful not to use live-view much, it will kill the cell/tablet/computer battery really quick and heat up the sensor very fast. If you think you got dust in the sensor, you really have thousands on burnt sensors. What many beginners to professionals DO NOT know that these 35mm format (1/1 & reduction) systems are not really video cameras. For that reason, they can not be sued.

[@angelisone]

Scott Dumas, got the distance on shooting with live-view? And how long did the camera last under lie-view unit it shutdown?

Hey Scott, can you connect multiple tablets to one camera - eg. having one tablet for an assistant and one for a client?

+113866218995257362276 Thanks so much! Glad to help. Unfortunately like you said there's no share option in the app. I personally never deliver images that quickly even if it's an event (I'll at least take them home and run them quickly through Capture One first). I know with the 5D IV at least you can also choose to transfer the images to an FTP server but I've never touched that. If I had to do it, I'd probably just bring a computer with me and take the images off the card, run them through C1 and put them on a USB or something for the client right at that location. Hope that helps, or I hope someone who works with that workflow sees this and can chime in. Sorry if it doesn't really help! Thanks again for watching :)

That is great but NFC on android phones is even better. Just touch them together and BOOM good to go.

[@ScottDumas]

Yeah I'm jealous of that haha :)

I have a 5dmk4 and sometime when I change the len I lose connection

[@ScottDumas]

As long as you can reconnect after that I wouldn't worry. I'd recommend you power off when changing lenses anyway and it's what I always do so I never noticed that

[@DreamReleases]

Cano you do this with the iphone 8 or iphone X at your earliest convenience? Due to the newer iphone display technology

[@ScottDumas]

JohnAllen Magee absolutely! I'll be getting the X as soon as it's available :)

Good info but can I do all this with an ipad pro?

[@ScottDumas]

Jaime Loyola Thank you! As far as I know it shouldn't be a problem on any ios device. The only differences should be what functions are allowed by the camera you're using (some cameras can't stream video for example)

[@mery151]

please teach me how to send videos to smartphone :((

Can you use the cable tethered and the iPad tethered at the same time? And when you tethered to the iPad are save there?

[@ScottDumas]

Manuel T that's a good question about simultaneous wired and wireless tethering, I'll look into it and get back to you. Personally I use Capture One for wired tethering and there's a really functional app connected to that I use for the iPad while tethered to the computer. Also, the photos aren't automatically saved to the iPad but you can save them individually or many at a time if you want to.

can it be set to full screen mode. that is. viewing full res in real time

[@ScottDumas]

You can view full screen but it won't automatically update as you continue shooting

[@NazStudios]

thanks for these videos.that's sad though . So I started a new idea which is basically a mobile studio at events. I need a way to showcase pictures in real time to drag attention.

Hello Scott, can you confirm to me: I want to use the camera in workshops where what the camera sees, the computer also sees. So, currently I use Usb and Live view in EOS utility. Can you confirm that if I turn Live view and use it via wifi, it will apear on my computer in EOS Utility just like if it was connected by USB? I have a projector connected to the laptop and camera connected to the laptop so everyone sees what the camera is "seeing".

[@ScottDumas]

Thanks so much for watching! It does work in live view on the computer in EOS Utility. I've never used that feature with the USB but even using wifi it seems to work well. There's a slight lag of less than a second but it's hardly noticeable. Hope that helps!

How is the video like and what type of photo editor can u use for iPhone ? does canon has an app for editing?

[@ScottDumas]

yohannsphotography videography do you mean how is the video with the canon connect app? It works well. It doesn't lag and pretty much functions like using the LCD screen on the camera including touch focus. It's been really handy as an easy on the go monitor for video. For editing on a smartphone i would probably recommend the Lightroom mobile app. There's a pretty high level of control very similar to the desktop version. There are plenty of other apps too but I'm not sure if Canon makes one for editing, I don't think they do. Their desktop application for raw processing is called digital photo professional and I wouldn't recommend it haha 😬
