Great fun learning how it works

Camera connect app

Great efficient app!

Complicated 🫣

I love it but hate it too. When I can figure out how it work, I love it! But it’s taken me a week if lost time and work trying to figure out how to connect me phone and camera and then how to import. So yeah it’s complicated for M.E. But still great app

Versatility and Convenience

In photography there are few things more versatile, convenient and easy to use than the Cannon Camera Connect App.

Connection Issues

I’ve never changed cameras or passwords and for some reason I have to forget all my passwords, WiFi connection, and camera in the app and go through the entire process again to re-setup my camera. Which by the way if I haven’t mentioned, has never changed.
