Camera Connect App Request for Astro and Night Photography

slaclair

I was surprised there is no app mode for astrophotography and night photography. 

I only found Light and Dark mode.

There really needs to be a mode that uses red light and red for fonts, icons and graphics to preserve night vision and prevent light interference with long exposures.  

It seems like this would be a really simple feature to add. Is there a way to contact the app team for this request or feedback? I couldn't find anything in the app.

Thank you-

Scott

Canon has sold bodies targeted to astrophotographers in the past, 60Da and Ra. I believe they were capable of doing that.

I am looking for a red light display mode in the Camera Connect App. Nothing to do with camera model.

Good idea. You can send feedback to Canon form the Canon USA website.
