Canon R5 Bluetooth Intervalometer

[Fanchphoto]

Why does canon shut down the R5 intevelomitor when Bluetooth is on? I wanted to use it for self family shots by starting it with my phones canon app? Can canon please update it so the app can use it?

Greetings, Fanchphoto

The option to not allow the intervalometer to function while Bluetooth is enabled is a decision that has been made by our engineers and product designers in Japan. In the meantime, I can submit your feedback to our engineers for consideration and may be incorporated in future updates. Please note that decisions to incorporate a particular camera design are made by our engineers and product designers in Japan, based on a number of factors. Consumer demand, technological limitations, and customer feedback are all taken into consideration.
