Canon Camera Connect

Move photos from camera to phone

Canon Camera Connect links compatible Canon cameras with an Android phone or tablet over Wi-Fi. It is suited to photographers who want to review camera images on a mobile screen, save them to the device, or share them without first using a computer. The app supports JPEG and MP4 files, while RAW images are resized to JPEG when imported.

Remote control and shooting

With a supported camera, you can use the phone as a remote viewfinder and control remote shooting through the camera’s Live View. Bluetooth-equipped cameras can also support remote shutter release. The app can switch from a Bluetooth pairing state to a Wi-Fi connection, and NFC-equipped cameras may offer touch-based connection setup.

Useful camera-linked tools

• Receive location information from the phone and add it to images on the camera.
• Transfer selected camera images to the phone for storage or sharing.
• Connect with Canon services where the camera and service support it.
• Transfer the latest firmware to compatible cameras.

Compatibility to check

Camera support differs by model, so Canon’s compatibility list is important before relying on a particular function. Bluetooth control requires a camera with Bluetooth and an Android device with Bluetooth 4.0 or later and Bluetooth Low Energy support. Some camera files cannot be saved, including EOS MOV and 8K movies, 10-bit HEIF, RAW movies, and AVCHD camcorder files. Operation is not guaranteed on every Android device.

Published by Canon Inc., the Photography app has a 4.42 rating from 316,577 reviews and more than 10 million installs. It is a practical companion for owners of supported Canon cameras, especially when quick transfers or phone-based remote shooting matter more than editing tools.
