![]() ![]() NFC is not supported on Apple devices, so I recommend to turn it off when your camera has that option. Be aware that enabling Wi-Fi may disable the USB port on the camera, so if USB stops working after this, you need to come back here and disable Wi-Fi. Step 3 : Choose Enable to enable Wi-Fi support. Step 2 : First choose Wi-Fi settings (or Wi-Fi/NFC settings) from the menu. If you use MAC address filtering on your Wi-Fi, you should enable access for this address.Īfter the reset you can begin setting up the camera: besides enabling Wi-Fi, you may need to give it a nickname. Note that the camera’s network (MAC) address is also displayed here. Step 1/b : Older models hide the clear function in a different place: go into the Wi-Fi function menu and press the INFO key. Step 1/a : Cameras having either a Wireless communication settings or Built-in wireless settings menu, the Clear settings item is on that menu. Since I don’t want to deal with any previously created configuration mess, you’ll need to reset the camera’s Wi-Fi configuration to the factory default. This phase is about preparing the camera for using a Wi-Fi connection. The paring process have four phases: preparation, mode selection, network connection and finally the actual pairing. Older models, and the W-E1 card doesn’t have a top-level Wi-Fi menu item, just Wi-Fi function. The Wi-Fi menu is called either Wireless communication setting or Built-in wireless settings (and is tucked under Communication settings). To avoid a hundred page post detailing each camera model separately, I’ll describe the common process, pointing out differences (this is denoted by /a and /b after the step’s number). Most new ones have a consistent user interface, but still, there are minor variations. The app will automatically come out of pairing mode once the camera is successfully connected.ĭifferent Canons have different Wi-Fi configuration screens. On a Mac click Wi-Fi and Ethernet Pairing… in the ShutterCount (or Kuuvik Capture) menu.On iOS tap Connect and tap New Camera Pairing….You have to do only one thing in the app: put it into pairing mode. Every single “does not work” case over the years boiled down to these causes. Or have a faulty hardware (unlikely, but happens). If it does not work, you are doing something wrong.You must quit all Canon apps (as well as others that may connect to your camera) before attempting a pairing, as they will almost certainly cause trouble. The camera must be paired directly to our apps.You know how your Wi-Fi network is configured, have a password for it, or have the person who manages your network at hand.You read the camera’s user manual at least partly, and know how to enter a Wi-Fi password for example.So I assume that both your device and camera will be connected to the same, existing network. While other configurations (such as camera-created network, and device-created network) are also possible, these are not for beginners. You have a local Wi-Fi network and your device running ShutterCount or Kuuvik Capture (iPhone, iPad or Mac) is connected to that Wi-Fi.Similarly, the 5D Mark III and 7D Mark II will work with the WFT-E7 brick. You’d be surprised how many people want to connect a Wi-Fi-less camera over Wi-Fi… Newer models have a built-in transceiver, but the 5DS, 5DS R and 7D Mark II requires the optional W-E1 card. I expect you to follow this guide step-by-step.First, because some topics, such as entering passwords, are covered there, and second, because you’ll appreciate our simple pairing process (and this post) compared to what Canon has to offer. Nevertheless, I recommend everyone to take a look on that manual. People are struggling with the camera side of the process, and my goal is to help them to overcome the pairing hurdle. Why? Because Canon’s cumbersome and ill-designed Wi-Fi user interface is accompanied with an equally bad user guide (the dreaded Wi-Fi Function Instruction Manual). This post is about what you need to do on the camera to pair it to my ShutterCount, ShutterCount Mobile and Kuuvik Capture apps over Wi-Fi.
