R3 USB-C with Camera Connect app

[Markmorinii]

I noticed that the USBC connection option isn’t showing when registering the R3 with the Canon Camera Connect app on iPhone…. Is this an app error?

The Canon Connect App only runs on smart devices with wireless connectivity.  It is by design.

thanks for the reply, but i see that every other R series camera with a multi-function shoe gives a USB connection option in the app, which is why I think this was an oversight by Canon, and not a capability issue

I don’t see any USB option on either my phone or tablet with my R6ii.

  this is what I see with my iPhone 16 pro

 

 

I am able to connect via usbc and import photos to the photo library, but I’d like a hardline connection for auto-transfer and live view shooting video purposes. im able to get live view via usbc with 3rd party apps, but missing touch to focus while recording video. The canon app can do this via WiFi connection, but it’s really unreliable and actually worked better with the iPhone 15
