#CANON CAMERA CONNECT FOR PC WITH A T6I PORTABLE#
More people prefer to use their portable smart devices, so I get it. However it is by Canon's choice to go in that direction, not a technical reason. There is definitely a demand to make things "app" based.
#CANON CAMERA CONNECT FOR PC WITH A T6I HOW TO#
If software existed on my PC, it could talk to it too, regardless of whether my PC also knows how to talk to the Internet.
The iPad can also talk to the camera using the same app. The iPhone's CanonConnect app knows how to talk to my Canon camera. Any computer, tablet, smartphone, networked printer, and yes even my Wifi TV can talk to the camera if they know how to. When my Canon T6i is in infrastructure Wifi mode, it is on the same network as all my other devices. Regardless of whether that device knows how to talk to the Internet, it always knows its netmask, hence what other IP addresses are available on the local network. You know that "netmask" you always see when looking at a device's IP address? That tells the device what other IP addresses are local to that device. Whether or not software exists to do that comunication is another story. Infrastructure Wifi means any device on your network (wired and Wifi) can communicate with each other. BUT, the camera also supports "infrastructure" Wifi. For the record though, you are right when the camera is in "camera access point" mode - it does a direct link between the camera and your Wifi mobile device. If your PC is connected to the Internet, that leaves nothing to communicate with your camera. One problem that PCs suffer is that they typically can only communicate through one network port. Everything seems to want to be cloud based somewhere that can generate recurring wrote: But, local storage doesn't seem to be the prevailing strategy in software design. Personally, I think users should be given a choice of direction. It would seem that the default approach seems to be more of a cloud based storage solution, over more traditional local storage. I do fault Canon for not making it abundantly clear exactly what their EOS cameras with built-in Wi-Fi are capable of doing. Canon does make a separate wireless adapter for EOS cameras that can connect to computers. The above illustration shows the capabilities of EOS cameras that have built-in Wi-Fi. One misconception that people seem to have had is that "Wi-Fi" means "networkable." Unfortunately, it does not. There seems to be much confusion centered around capabilities of Canon EOS cameras with built-in Wi-Fi. I don't see what relevance that a link about a Powershot camera has to an EOS T6i. So when my camera is at home, I'd like to have it connect to my Wifi to upload photos to my computer. However I'd like to also connect my computer if possible. I can successfully do "connect to smartphone" and connect to the camera with the Canon CameraConnect app on my iPhone and iPad. I do NOT see a "Connect to computer" option as shown in some Canon articles such as this: When I go to the "Wi-Fi function" menu, I see only 5 options: Is there a way to copy photos to my computer via Wifi? I don't see a way. I just bought the new Canon T6i camera, and love it.
