`WiFi pairing your WiFi EOS camera with EOS Utility 3.0
`
`25 August, 2014 | Posted in: Photo software
`
`WiFi pairing is the process of ensuring that your computer is able to recognise your camera on
`a network and connect to it. It is necessary to carry out the WiFi pairing process for each
`camera, and each network you will use.
`
`WiFi pairing is like the paring process to get a mobile phone to pair with your car
`using Bluetooth. A camera can pair with multiple different networks and devices, and store
`them. It will only operate with one device at a time.

`EOS 70D WiFi pairing with EOS Utility
`WiFi pairing is initiated on the camera LCD menu, you need to choose EOS Utility as the type
`of connection, then follow the steps on the camera menu to configure the network settings.
`Near the end of the process the camera prompts you to start the pairing software on your
`computer, this is your cue to run EOS Utility.

`With the release of EOS Utility 2.14 and EOS Utility 3.0
`Canon have changed the process for WiFi pairing your EOS
`camera with your computer. Canon has added an EOS Utility
`Launcher that will start if you try to run EOS Utility when no
`cameras are connected to the computer with USB. The
`software assumes that no connected cameras means that
`you will connect a camera with WiFi.
`
`Click the Pairing over WiFi / LAN button to show any
`cameras that are detected on your network as part of the WiFi
`pairing setup on the camera. This will display the dialog box
`so that you can select your camera on the network.

`Can you explain why EOS Utilities insists that I pair my Canon 7d to a LAN/Wifi
`network? I do not use my camera as a network device. It has no Wifi card and I
`do not have a LAN to connect to.

`Hi Austin,
`
`18 September, 2014
`
`Thanks for the question. In the recent editions of EOS Utility there’s the
`new EOS Utility launcher, this is what pops up the WiFi pairing message
`seen above. It pops up every time you try and start EOS Utility with no
`EOS camera connected on USB.
`
`Have you tried connecting your camera with USB to the computer, usually
`it should start EOS Utility and bypass the pairing screen.

`Hi Brian, do you know if it is possible to control the camera from a laptop via wifi
`when connected directly without a separate wireless access point as you would
`with a mobile device and app.
`
`I have a windows 8 tablet (no app available) and I would like to use this for
`controlling the camera when taking shots outside.
`
`I can setup the camera as a wifi hotspot and join the cameras wifi network from
`the tablet/laptop. I can also ping the ip of the camera from the tablet/laptop so
`communication is working.
`
`But when pairing it finds no camera and when opening the app the control
`options are grayed out.
`
`I am running the latest version of software.
`
`Thanks in advance for any help.

`Hi Keith & phm,
`

`
`Yes you can control the camera from a laptop via WiFi without using
`an access point. The camera effectively becomes the access point
`for the laptop.
`
`You need to choose camera access point mode for the
`communications.
`
`However not all the cameras with WiFi are enabled to work over Wifi
`with EOS Utility. The EOS 750D / EOS 760D can only connect to
`iOS or Android devices over WiFi. EOS 70D, EOS 80D and EOS 6D
`can all connect to EOS Utility on Windows/Mac using Wifi and no
`access point.
`
`There’s no app for Windows 8 tablets.

`Specifications say it is 30m, but like all WiFi devices a
`whole set of factors will reduce this and few increase it.
`
`Indoors the walls, big bits of metal and the presence of

`Sorry, this does not work unless you have another LAN

`Hi Kornel,
`
`2 December, 2018
`
`I think you are mistaken. I have successfully connected
`several different camera models to a laptop with EOS
`Utility using a Wi-Fi connection and no other access
`point operating.
`
`There are two possible ways to connect, the camera can
`create a Wi-fi hotspot itself that you connect the laptop
`to, or you can use an existing Wi-Fi network hotspot and
`connect both camera and computer to that.
`
`The only odd issue with the camera creating the hotspot,
`is that when you turn the camera off, the laptop usually
`starts hunting for another network, and if it finds
`something, then it stays with that new one, not the
`camera one.
`
`Hope this straightens things out for you?

`Hi,

`
`Sorry i’m not yet running Yosemite on my Mac, but will be shortly. However
`if your camera uses EOS Utility 3.x then the process is different from EOS
`Utility 2.x.
`
`In short click on the file location button in the remote shooting window
`where he computer and camera icons are. Then you can choose which
`files go where.

`Hi Brian,
`It looks to me that Canon has limited the camera Wifi settings on a 750D.
`The option ‘EOS Utility’ is not available on the 750D and as far as I’m concerned,
`that should be the default pairing option.
`So, getting the photos from the camera onto your computer, one has to use the
`USB cable.
`What was Canon thinking?

`Hi Frits,
`
`23 August, 2015
`
`I hear you and to be honest I was also pretty surprised when I found they
`had limited the WiFi to only allow communications with a smart phone or
`tablet and not a computer.
`
`So yes the only option is a USB cable… and you have to turn the Wi-Fi off
`or the USB doesn’t work either

`Hi Billy,

`
`To me this sounds like you are in the menu to enter the WiFi password, the
`screen asks for ASCII characters.
`
`The characters you need to enter will depend on whether you are
`connecting to an existing WiFi network, then the ASCII characters,
`sometime labelled as the WiFi password or key may be on the WiFi router
`itself.
`
`Or if you are connecting directly to the laptop and there is no WiFi router or
`network around then you can make up the ASCII keys, they are the
`password you need to be able to connect your laptop to the network
`created by the camera. You will then enter these ASCII characters as the
`WiFi password on the computer or smartphone.

`Hi Aura,

`
`EOS Launcher should detect the camera is connected with a USB cable
`and just start EOS Utility. You don’t need to buy a WiFi card for the camera
`– in fact the EyeFi cards won’t work with EOS Utility.
`
`If you just want to download the files, then a card reader – probably built-in
`to your computer – is faster than using a cable.
`
`What OS are you using?

`That’s correct – it is not possible to use the WiFi to connect an EOS 750D

`Unfortunately it appears to be a decision made somewhere in Canon to

`Hi Olav,

`
`Basically the EOS Utility Launcher is what is “kicked in to action” when the
`camera connects. It then decides if the camera can use EOS Utility 3 or 2
`or if WiFi pairing needs to be done.
`
`On my mac I tend to specifically select the application I want to start in the
`ImageCapture utility that’s part of the OS. I change it from the default
`Launcher to the specific version of EOS Utility for the camera, it just
`speeds things up a little. You can do something similar in Windows by
`choosing the default program that’s started when the camera is connected.

`This sounds like a firewall issue. You may need to temporarily disable the

`Hi Carys,

`
`It’s not readily possible to transfer videos from the camera to your
`smartphone directly.
`
`Pretty much the best option is copy the video files off the camera card to a
`computer and then transfer them to the phone via a cable, email, dropbox,
`or maybe another microSD card if your phone has a suitable slot.
`
`EOS utility will let you transfer the movies to your computer over WiFi, but
`it’s faster with a USB cable or putting the camera card in the laptop.

`
`Brian Worley
`Hi Andrew,
`

`
`Are you tethering with EOS Utility or directly to Lightroom. I don’t know why
`your camera is dropping the connection, make sure you turn off the WiFi in
`the camera as this does usually switch off the USB port.
`
`I would suggest you use EOS Utility to handle the tethering, I find it drops
`out much less – almost never – than Lightroom. You can then use
`Lightroom to watch the folder that the files arrive in and auto import.
`
`I wrote about that in this older post… but the process is still working fine
`with the more recent EOS Utility and Lightroom versions

`
`I’m not sure where you have seen that in the manual. The wifi manual says
`on page 2 that the only kinds of connections possible are to a
`smartphone/tablet, Canon connect station and if it’s available in your
`region the Canon Image Gateway.
`
`So that means that connecting to a Mac or PC and EOS Utility is only
`possible with a USB cable for the 1300D. Actually this is the same
`limitation as the 750D & 760D too.

`Hello
`
`I own a Canon EOS 1300D with WiFi/NFC function.
`Pairing over WiFi works well with my smartphone!
`
`Is it possible to do Pairing with EOS Utility over WiFi ?
`If yes, then how to do that?

`Since there’s been a few requests about connecting EOS 1300D, 750D,
`760D using wifi to EOS Utility I wrote a new post on the topic here:
`http://www.p4pictures.com/2017/06/connect-eos-760d-750d-1300d-
`computer-wifi/
`
`In short the answer is NOT possible without some additional hardware.

`
`I am wanting to setup a permanently tethered EOS camera for taking pictures of
`gemstones for the web. I am after good image quality but not resolution. What
`EOS models offer what controls when tethered? Are older models like 1000D

`
`limited compared to newer models or higher end models? I would like basic
`manual controls and focus adjustment, it would be also nice to easily review
`images after taking.
`I have just read your link above, you have just saved me from buying a camera I
`though I could connect via wifi. So no wifi for me as the higher end newer
`cameras are unfortunately out of my budget.
`Thankyou and any advice appreciated.

`Hi Terry,
`
`21 June, 2017
`
`Virtually all the EOS DSLRs offer tethered shooting using a USB
`connection. The limiting factor tends to be the operating system support for
`some of the older models.
`
`EOS Utility exists in two “tracks” the version 2.x and version 3.x. Most of
`the latest cameras use v3.x, but some of the older ones use v2.x, and few
`can use either.
`
`In the case of an EOS 1000D, the latest version is EOS Utility 2.14.31 for
`Mac OS X (10.12, 10.11 & 10.10) for example. It would be suitable. With
`EOS Utility you can control shutter speed, aperture, ISO, Picture Style, and
`if the lens has AF – not the MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro – then you can
`drive AF from the software and have live view to see what is going on.
`
`So pretty much choose the camera on the price you want, and it will be ok
`with a USB connection. You can use up to 5 metre USB if the cable is
`good quality without using any booster cables.

`
`This is not very helpful. Saying “then follow the steps on the camera menu to
`configure the network settings” gets me to where I see an encryption key but the
`only option after that is “cancel.”
`
`Also, if I launch EOS Utility (which version?) and click on “Pair over WIFI” not
`camera is listed in the popup box.

`Hi Richard,

`
`When the screen asks for the encryption key there’s initially five stars
`shown – ***** – you need to tap the onscreen delete key then start entering
`your encryption key for your network. Once you do this then the menu
`button will be clickable.
`
`EOS Utility v3 for EOS 80D. Camera will only be listed once you have
`completed the network settings on the camera body – it then prompts you
`to start the pairing software on the LCD, so that’s when the camera will
`appear.

`Thanks for your kind response, Brian.

`
`Does “the screen asks for the encryption key” refer to the screen on
`my Windows 7 computer? Without detailing all steps to accomplish
`this, I am able to establish a connection apparently. My EOS80D
`shows up as a wireless connection just like my connection to the
`router for the internet.
`
`However, when I launch EOS Utility Launcher I get the “Pairing over
`Wi-Fi/LAN” screen and clicking on the button with that name the
`smaller window pops up but no camera is listed. (The name of my
`camera appeared in that window earlier after a 10- or 15-sec. delay.
`Thus my successful connection, I presume.)
`
`However, closing and relaunching the EOS Utility Launcher does not
`cause the file transfer window to open, only the “Pairing over Wi-
`Fi/LAN” window. I seem to be stuck in a loop. Not a problem with
`your instructions at this point, I think.
`
`There is a step in the establish-connection process that asks me to
`identify a numbered set (1-3). This does not appear in Canon’s
`wireless connection manual, which I find to be awful.
`
`I’ll reboot and see if this helps.
`
`Thanks again.

`Hi Brian, I am trying to connect my Eos 5d mk iv to my windows 10 PC and
`laptop by wifi using Eos utility. I can connect the computers to the camera
`wirelessly with no problem. The issue arises over pairing. The Eos utility does
`not find my camera when it goes into ‘pairing over wifi/lan’. The white connect
`box remains empty. This happens in Easy setup and also in Select a Network
`connection methods.
`I am running Norton internet security and have tried disabling the smart firewall
`to no avail. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled all of the canon utilities for the
`mk iv from the Canon website. The camera will connect fine by USB if you go
`straight to the Eos Utility 3 program, but if the launcher is used, it will only try to
`connect wirelessly, and without success. I have also and previously used a 5d
`mk iii, but have updated all of the software for the mk iv.
`
`I do hope that you can help, as the wifi capability is one of the reasons that I
`upgraded.

`The solution was really simple in the end, after 4 days of trying just about

`worked straight away and made me feel rather foolish.

`Hello Brian. I have a Canon 70D and I was wandering if I can connect it to my
`laptop via wifi and in the process I am taking the photos, they are shown on my
`laptop. Is this a possibility? If yes, how do I do that?
` Thank you in advance!
`
`Reply
`
`Brian Worley
`Hi Bianca,
`
`11 September, 2017
`
`Yes you can connect your EOS 70D to a Windows or Mac laptop with
`WiFi, and then you can configure EOS Utility to transfer images and
`display them as you shoot. I use this a lot with my own cameras for
`demonstrations and when working in a studio.
`
`It is also worth looking at this older post where I explain the setup process
`for the EOS 70D – http://www.p4pictures.com/2014/01/eos-70d-6d-wifi-
`tethered-shooting-adobe-lightroom-5/
`
`You can ignore the step about Lightroom, once you have EOS Utility setup
`it can handle the transfer and display directly.

`
`My understanding from your post is cheaper canon models even though they
`have Wifi capability they cannot connect to PC via home wifi or hotspot
`themselves. More expensive version can connect to PC via home wifi or hotspot
`themselves but need EOS utility. Is that correct? Thanks

`Hi Thaw,

`
`Yes this is indeed the case, though the newest EOS 200D, 800D and 77D
`all can be used to connect to a computer with EOS Utility using the wi-if
`connection.

`One hint for those having same issue as me:
`
`14 November, 2017
`
`EOS utility unsuccessfully updating my Win 10 FireWall at start and camera
`pairing not working… ?what to do?
`
`This happened to me when I tried to establish camera PC connectivity over WIFI.
`My PC is a company owned with partially restricted Admin access and Symantec
`EDP as antivirus.
`EOS utility was not able to update local FW and I was not able to proceed further
`with camera pairing.
`
`Solution:
`To make the connection working, I had to manually add TWO following FireWall
`entries in my Win 10 laptop.
`
`Go to: Control Panel / Windows Firewall / Advanced Settings / Inbound Rules /
`New Rule
`
`Rule1:
`General \ Name: Canon EOS UPNP Detector
`Programs and Services\ This Program: %ProgramFiles% (x86)\Canon\EOS
`Utility\EOSUPNPSV.exe
`Protocols and Ports \ Protocol type: TCP (All Ports)
`Scope \ Remote IP Address: Local subnet
`Advanced \ Profiles: Domain, Private, Public (depends where you will be using
`the application)
`
`Rule2:
`Exactly the same including rule name, change only Protocol type: UDP
`
`Then I was able to successfully pair my 6D Mark II :o)
