Canon Camera Connect app issue

kesnfs — Sun, 01 Mar 2020 02:00:18 GMT

Hello there
I have an issue. Why we, Canon users, can't download RAWs from camera to mobile through Canon Camera Connect app? I'm forced to use 3rd party paid app to do this. I have Canon EOS R, $2000 camera and no such simple functionality, really?

Does a mobile really have the capabilities to run the necessary software to process raw images ?

I am asking, I don't know because I dont't use a mobile for photography.

What are you trying to do with RAW files on your mobile? The files can get to be a little on the huge side. I believe Canon has version of DPP that runs on mobile devices. I am not sure which ones, though. I think it works by uploading files to Caaon's Image Gateway. You do not load files into a smartphone, because not all of them can manage the file sizes very well.

It is called DPP Exppress and runs on iPads at this time.

Sorry, but I'm Android user. If I was able to download RAWs through WiFi, then I can edit my RAWs in Adobe Lightroom Mobile. So options there is just connect SD card via adapter to my phone or just using 3rd party paid app to do this through wireless connection. I'm still don't understand why this feature is not exist in Canon Camera Connect app. Maybe it's the slowest way to edit RAWs, but what if I need one or two very special images that I want to edit right now without reaching to my laptop or PC.

Sorry for my English.
