Canon Camera Connect (CCC)Bluetooth Version
CCC Field PROCEDURES
OVERVIEW:
Though difficult, these procedures need be done only once. App is rock solid thereafter. Bluetooth works in the field without Wi-Fi. App takes about 20 seconds to connect. Without these procedures CCC may work periodically then disconnect and be hard to restart. Using CCC is convenience since pictures transmit faster with equal quality as removing the camera’s memory card and inserting it into a computer, all while camera is off and still in camera bag.
- DO A CLEAN INSTALL Be patient each takes a least a minute for completion. At worst, a camera Reset may be needed. iPhone NAME must be inserted into the camera and CCC app.

Turn off Bluetooth.
