Problem with Canon R6
Posted: 23 Jun 2021, 15:06
I purchased an Android tablet* for use with qDslrDashboard. With the program installed I tried to get my Canon R6 connected. I've tried the wifi connection option and the USB option. When attempting to use the USB connection I first tried a USB 3.1 Type-C to Type-C that stated it was compatible with the Canon R6. But when that failed I stepped up to a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 C to C. Neither will allow the Canon R6 to show up on qDslrDashboard.
When trying the wifi connection I get a little more success, but then hit a wall. The first thing I'm doing is using the "Canon Connect" program to connect the tablet to the Canon R6. Then, after I have the wifi connection established I open up qDslrDashboard (v3.6.4) and try to connect the R6. I tap the Canon icon and the Connection Info displays the following:
Searching for Canon/Sony wireless camera
Found Canon Canon R6 wireless camera, connecting....
Finished searching for Canon/Sony wireless camera
(a minute later)
Failed to connect to connect to Canon camera with wireless
Any suggestions?
Thanks
