I hope they have an update! ### 1/5 — Lower Your Expectations *2025-07-09* The picture quality is not great, low light performance is non-existent. Forget trying to use it to capture moments indoors, this thing needs LOTS of sunlight- but don't put it in direct sunlight because then it looks bad too. Every person looks bent like it's shooting through a fisheye lens, and the tracking abilities, smile detection and general ability to capture anything automatically is intermittent to non existent. Needs some serious firmware updates to at least try to fix that, but the hardware limitations will still mean this will end up an expensive kids toy. It's not a camera for anyone who actually wants a camera ### 5/5 — Pretty good *2025-03-11* I don’t use this for taking pictures. I use it as a vision aid device at school. It’s pretty good so you should get it! ### 3/5 — ダークモードに対応してほしい *2024-10-12* アイコンがダークモード対応にしてほしい。 デザインもダサいと思う。 社名とWi-Fi電波は不用。 中身もダークモード対応にしてほしい。 ### 1/5 — 期待<課題 *2024-03-14, version 1.4.0* 多くのユーザーから改善や機能追加の要望がこれだけあがってるのは、本来メーカーとして有益であり、それに応えてこそクラウドファンディング発進の製品開発のメリットであるはずだが、売ったらオシマイなキヤノンさんの姿勢は非常に残念。と言うか、同業者としては驚きすら感じる。 せめて、タイマー起動、手動の人物登録は実装しないと、デモ機レベルの試作品を高額で売りつけているのと変わらないのでは？ —— 接続の面倒さ、電池持ちの悪さ、イマイチな自動撮影、インストラクションの説明不足など課題は多い。高価格商品としては正直お粗末な出来だと思う。 せめて、ユーザ自身で人物や動物の登録ができれば良いのに…。個人的には動物にも反応してくれれば大化けする商品だと思っている。 ### 1/5 — もうちょっと頑張って欲しい... *2023-10-08* ・読み込み画面のまま動かない ・遅い ・起動に時間がかかる これじゃ無いとスマホにデータ入れれ無いので仕方なく使ってるだけ もっと改善して欲しい ### 3/5 — カメラの追跡機能に改善要望 *2023-08-19, version 1.4.0* 10人くらいの食事の席で使いました。撮影された写真や動画が、話している人を映してなかったりで、良い写真がすごく少なかった。話している人、笑い声が聞こえる方向にすぐ反応して撮影して欲しい。使い方で好みの撮影方法は異なると思うので、モードで変えられるようにして欲しいです。改善の期待を込めて3。 ### 2/5 — 写真をアプリで見られるのが1台だけ？ *2023-03-11* 家族で共有したいのですが… 至急どうにかしてください。 お願いします。 ### 2/5 — 期待を込めて星5つ *2023-02-20, version 1.4.0* 思った以上の改善が見られず、あまり力を入れてもらえてない感じがしますね。 先行投資とは言え、大手にそれなりの金を投資したのに結果はイマイチでしたね。 せめて監視カメラとかとして役に立てばいいんですけど。 ---------ここまで追記---------- 先日届きました。 改善点はまだまだありますが、今後に期待を込めて星5つで。 改善要望 ・カメラへの接続にいちいち本体のボタンを押す仕様はどうにかして欲しい ・アプリはWi-Fi接続してなくてもとりあえずそのまま表示とかはできるようにしておいてほしい。ポップアップがうざくてアプリ落とすのも大変。 ・アップデートがカード経由で絶望しました。通信できる仕様なのになんでだよ、と思いました。 ・シャッター音消せるのはいいとして、その他の音の音量も変更させて欲しい。ピヨヨーンって結構うるさい。 ・アプリからカメラの電源落とせるようにして欲しい。 ・音声認識がイマイチ ### 2/5 — Nightmare to connect Bluetooth *2023-01-15* Requires factory reset EACH TIME the app drops out of foreground. So buy a tablet for one app. Upgrading firmware wirelessly will brick your camera. I’ve bricked two. Use the sdcard This is not alpha quality. ## Frequently asked questions about Connect app for Mini PTZ Cam ### What does the Connect app for Mini PTZ Cam do?
