How can I transfer full size images using Camera Connect? I always makes them smaller

windycityart — Mon, 28 Sep 2015 14:53:20 GMT

I'm connecting my t6s to my smartphone using Camera Connect. I can view the images on the camera just fine but when I download them to the phone they are resized to 1920X1280. I'd like to be able to transfer the full size image but can't find any setting to do that. The camera itself gives me option for full or resized when sending to web service like Canon Gateway but no such setting is apparent for smartphone connection.

Hi windycityart!

Thanks for posting.

The Camera Connect app does not have the ability to transfer RAW or full sized images. Images that are transferred are resized. To upload full size images, this will need to be done using the EOS Utility software on a computer.

I have read elsewhere that you can choose to transmit full jpeg files; but I cannot find any setting option, either on my camera or on my iphone. Anybody know a way? I'm getting 3Mb photo cropped to 600Kb; that's no good.

I discovered that if you touch the three bars at the top right while you're viewing the image on your phone you can choose settings and you'll see one called Resize. You can choose Resize, Don't resize, or Select when saving. I think it is new.

On my camera, I find that on the screen showing all the thumbnails, from which I can choose which one(s) to send to my phone, those three bars are in the upper right corner, and sure enough, I can choose the option to not resize. Thank you!

Ok, there is option to not resize, but on my iPhone the image size is only 1920x1080 which is not full size of the image. Any suggestion?

The answer is from 2015, I think that app has changed since that time, because there are additional options.

I don't understand how it works - there's no difference if you choose resize or don't resize, image size is the same.

Maybe, that actually is the size of the image stored in the files. Hmm?

I just tried it on my new Android phone and it transferred the full size image at 6000 X 4000. If I choose resize it comes over at 1920X1280.

I figured out how it works. App always resize to 1920px when you have only RAW file on your camera (even with option do not resize). When you have RAW + JPG or only JPG everything is ok - app transfer file with original size 🙂

Hello everyone.. new here.

just bought a Canon 1300d yesterday - great but I'm having the same issues as above.

Having read through the thread I can't see anything that helps me? Low quality download to my iPad... there's no option (that I can find) to not resize.

I haven't got a desk top at home - surely there must be a way to get a decent quality image on the iPad?

many thanks

Guy

👍 Well done, that was the only fix I could find. This is annoying though. If I want slightly larger JPGs I have to plan in advance and shoot raw plus s2 jpg or manually convert RAWs in the camera (slow).

Canon if you can hear this can you please fix? Either have a file size setting that applies to jpgs and raws or have a raw conversion file size setting. To be honest it seems like a bug that if do not resize is set we go from a full sized RAW to a 1280x1920 jpg.

I'm taking photos in raw on the 750d, connect CCC and get only 1920*1080, then move the SD card into the M6, CCC connect and get 6000*4000 from the same RAW. Why?

I dont Think this is solved!!

So canon guys - instead of being mobile and be able to do the job with my Canon EOS 5d Mark IV and my iPad Pro with Affinity Photo, you guys think that it’s better that I buys a laptop and a card reader to do my job or should you consider to make the small changes in the camera connect app, so it would be able to transfer raw files?

This issue is not solved. I use my iPad Pro to edit full RAW files using Affinity Photo. Until there is a way to import the full RAW files onto my iPad, the CameraConnect app is useless.

Has anyone here experiencing this behavior ever considered that the aspect ratio of the destination device might influence why a full size image cannot be transferred in some situations? A mobile device also uses compression. The native resolution on a mobile device is also no where near the max image resolution of a photo, so transferrintg a full size image to a mobile device doesn't really serve any purpose.

I am able to transfer the full resolution RAW files to my iPad/iPhone using an SD card adapter without an issue. This should not be a limitation.

When I go from canon 5D Mark 4 to my Iphone 7 it cuts the file size from 30MB all the way to 0.4-0.6MB. I checked my 3 dots and the full size is chosen. This is REALLY annoying since you can't even load pictures to instagram on a computer. so I have to upload crap quality photos to instagram that are like 0.6MB.

I know this is an old post but I just came across this problem today. Using CC linked to my iPad I downloaded various photos only to find out to my chagrin that despite asking for original size (RAW) what was stored was a small KPG without any EXIF data. I can accept JPG but not a small 3MP version. Did you find a way around thisusing CC? Thx!
