EOS Utility on phone/tablet for T3

I am trying to figgure out a way to control my T3 (not T3i) wirelessly with EOS utility from a phone or tablet. I know the T3 is not wireless, but I should be able to get a wireless receiver+transmitter to make this happen, right? If anyone has experience doing this, I would appreciate any help or advice.

I haven't tried it myself, but CamRanger gets good reviews:

If you want to view photos on your tablet you can try using an Eye-fi card, shoot in jpg, and view using a photo viewer on your tablet. But I don't think it's going to be as smooth and seamless as you'd like it to be. Even the Wifi equipped cameras like the 6D haven't ironed out all the wrinkles you want.

1Ds Mark III + Teathered + EOS Utility + Lightroom = CRASH

I picked up my 1Ds Mark III on Monday got it home test it out and everything seemed to work just fine including teathering the camera to the MacBook Pro. Tonight I wanted to test out a couple other features and really check the files out. However I ran into some problems.
First thing I noticed was as soon as the shutter was fired and the image transfers to the computer you get a new window Quick Preview and its just that a quick preview of the image. If you close the quick preview it does not come back the next time you fire the camera.
However if you have Lightroom running and set up to watch a folder and then automatically move the images to another folder (which is required in LR) and the Canon Quick Preview comes up, it will lock the camera up and the blue download status bar stays blue. The next time you fire the shutter you see a Busy symbol with a yellow triangle and an explanation mark in the camera software window. You will no longer be able to download or teather more images.
If this does happen Ive either had to quit or force quit all applications, disconnect the camera and then restart EOS Utility (Leaving lightroom closed) fire the shutter with EOS utility and let the Quick Preview come up then close the quick preview and finally restart Lightroom.
In my opinion its that Quick Preview and Lightroom that are conflicting. Quick Preview is trying to show you the file and Lightroom is trying to move the file to a new folder. The EOS Utility does have preferences for Linked Software I even changed that to None and still the same problem.
Im going to call Canon again tomorrow to go over this in more detail now that Ive found out exactly what causes it and how to work around it, but in my opinion this is a bug and we should be able to turn that Quick Preview Off.
Thanks
Mark

To answer a couple questions I received:
Question:
What computer are you using ? what Mac OS ? did you use the software that came with the 1ds Mark III or did you download/install the latest updates on Canon web site ? Are you using a USB extension cord ?
Answer:
I'm using a 15inch MacBook Pro 2.1 GHz processor with 2 gigs of memory Mac OSX 10.4.11. I'm using the software that came with the camera and since it was just released in the past week and half the software should be current and I did not see anything new updates on the Canon website. The only way to teather the camera is with USB.
Question:
Make sure that you've linked software turned off in EOS Utility.
Answer:
Linked software was turned off. I even tried turning it on and then off. I even tried linking Lightroom, but that just brought up the import dialog box and wanted to import every time I fired the shutter instead of just auto importing.
I still really feel that the conflict is with the Quick Preview and Lightroom trying to move that file while Quick Preview is up.
Either Canon should give us the ability to permanently turn Quick Preview off or Lightroom needs not to move those images in the watch folder ( I never really understood why lightroom requires that after auto import that it has to move the images from the watch folder).

Which versions of eos utility are compatible with dpp4 and 5d mark ii?

Which versions of eos utility are compatible with dpp4 and 5d mark ii? I selected "remote shooting" in dpp 4.2.1 and "A compatible version of EOS Utility not installed" msg displayed. (I installed eu 2.14.20 & DPP 4 yesterday)

Robert,Thank you for the timely response. Please note the reply received from Canon EOS Digital Support:Subject: Response from Canon - EOS Digital Cameras > EOS 5D Mark II“Normally, when using DPP 4.2.10, you would need to download and install the corresponding EOS Utility 3.2.10 for the remote shooting feature. However, at this time, the EOS Utility 3.2.10 does not support the EOS 5D Mark II.If you are shooting remotely, you will have to launch the EOS Utility 2.14 and use the controls provided on that application” My other concern is the DPP3 recipe file format “*.vrd” is not compatible with the new DPP4 file format “*.dr4”Decisions Decisions…Thank youhdevaneyYou may be in luck. New versions of DPP 4 and EOSU 3 came out this week. It's probably worth giving them a try.

Tethered; saving both in camera & laptop? EOS Utility 3

Updated to Eos Utility 3 on a Mac 10.9.4 using either a 5d or 6d with a USB cord. I can' find where in EOS Utility I can set it to record the file both to the laptop as well as in camera cards(CF or SD)? There is not the normal check box under Remote Shooting in the preferences .
Second question, I've been using EOS Utility linked with DPP for tethered shooting for many years but really seem lost with these new versions are there any updated online video tutorials that someone can point me towards?
thanks, jeff

Hi Bob, thank you for that insight that would be awsome! I only have full frame cameras any idea how one goes about making Eos Utility 3 to launch version 2? I sure wish there were some of Canon's super helpful video tutorials on this subject for software-challenged people like me.
I'm looking at a Windows 8 computer as I write this, but I think it would be the same for Windows 7.
If the EU Launcher sees that you're using a FF camera, I think it will call Version 3 by default. So you just don't go there.
In the folder where the installer puts the EOS Utility, there are two subfolders, EU2 and EU3. In EU2, open "EOS Utility 2.exe". Once you're sure it does what you want, you can make a separate shortcut for it.

Can't get LR5 tethered capture to work for 70D - EOS utility won't install

I am attempting to setup tethered capture on a macbook pro with Mavericks, Lightroom 5 and a Canon 70D.
Lightroom 5 tethered capture alternates between "no camera detected" to "Canon EOS 70D" a few times and then posts the following error:
"Tethered Capture is not able to connect with the camera Canon EOS 70D (error code Canon EOS 70D). Please try restarting Tethered Capture or relaunching Adobe Photoshop Lightroom."
After browing for a solution, some have suggested that need to install the latest EOS utility software.
The EOS utility CD (ver. 28.2) that came with the camera will not install. I can browse the CD, see the files, etc. but when riunning the installation the installer appears on the dock for a split second, disappears and no error is given.
I downloaded the latest software from the Canon website, but it is upgrade only software.
I found an old EOS utility CD and it installed fine on the laptop.
I then attempted to upgrade the software by using the new CD as well as the upgrade file from the Canon website.
No matter what method I use, I still get the same results. I click on the installer, it appears on the dock for a second, disappears and nothing is installed.
If anybody has any advice, I would greatly appreciate it. Do I need the EOS utility software installed to perform tethered capture in LR5 with a 70D? If so, why won't it install?
Thank you,
Larry

"Do I need the EOS utility software installed to perform tethered capture in LR5 with a 70D?"
The answer to this question is, no. However I am not a Mac user but many of my Mac friends complain of problems with Mavericks and LR and possibly EOS Utility. Canon has full d/l availibe for you instead of just the upgrade. They are also on the site. (at least for Win machines)
You may need to find a Mac site to help you with this. Sorry I am of little help.

I am running my canon camera on the EOS utility program for mac, and i was wondering if there is a keyboard shortcut to start video recording, instead of using the mouse.

I am using EOS utility for MAC to run my canon camera at work. I have a foot switch connected to my macbook that allows me to take snapshots with my foot while i work ( i am a dentist and i have my camera hooked to a microscope). the way i did that is by programming a keyboard shortcut that snaps photos on EOS utility, to the foot switch software.
So my question is: On EOS there is a video recording function, so i was wondering if there is a keyboard shortcut or if i can create a keyboard shortcut for the start/stop record function for video recording..

EOS Utility for Mac - no "Live Mode" in Focus menu (70D)

I recently began using the EOS Utility (v. 2.1.4) application for remote shooting, and I'm having a difficult time following the instructions for manually focusing the lens. With the lens switched to AF, and after the EOS Utility has opened to show the Remote Live View window, I drag the selection rectangle to the portion of the image where I wish to focus, then click on the magnifying glass to zoom in. According to the instructions, the Focus popup menu should include several focusing options, one of which is supposed to be "Live Mode" which then allows you to use the arrow buttons to step focus the lens.
Unfortunately, "Live Mode" does not show up in this popup menu. I see "Quick Mode" and a variety of AF related choices, but "Live Mode" is no where to be found.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Thanks!

I have no actual knowledge of that procedure, so consider the source. But I'd think that for it to work as you intend, the lens would have to be of the type that allows itself to be manually focused while in AF mode. You don't say what lens you're using, but not all lenses fall into that category.

Will the EOS utility for the Rebel SL1 work with the 40D?

We first bought the Rebel EOS 300D many years ago and then upgraded to a 40D at my wifes shagrine (heavier) and have now bought my wife a new Rebel SL1. I would like to be able to download all three camers on my computer Win7 and her's WinXP. I'd like to know if the new discs that came with the SL1 has an EOS Utility application that will handle all three or at least the 40D and SL1.
Thanks much,
Bob

Hi, RobTrek6500!
The version of EOS Utility on the CD that came with your Canon EOS Rebel SL1 will allow you to download photos from both the Rebel SL1 and the EOS 40D, on both Windows 7 and Windows XP.
Unfortunately, the "Original" EOS Digital Rebel, known internationally as the EOS 300D, is no longer supported by current versions of EOS Utility, and going to an earlier version will cut out support for the later-model cameras. EOS Utility's setup does not support having two separate versions on the same computer, so we recommend sticking with the newest version as it will be the most convenient for you.
The best workaround for this is to use a memory card reader for the original EOS Rebel. Many desktop computers have CF card slots already built in, and if you don't already have a CF card slot, a CF card reader can be purchased for a low price at almost any electronics store. This turns your CF card into the equivalent of a flash drive, and image files can be dragged and dropped onto your computer with ease. Meanwhile, you can continue to use the current version of EOS Utility to download images from the Rebel SL1 and the EOS 40D.
We hope this helps!

PLEASE HELP!!! I am simply trying to update the APN settings on my Iphone3 AT&T carried Straight Talk SIM phone. For some reason, when I enter the Straight Talk APN info in the Config Utility and click "Install", NOTHING HAPPENS. WHY? I have spent almost 2 full days simply trying to get the cellular data network settings to appear and I am now at the point of pulling hair and/or smashing things. Why is it so difficult to simply update the cellular data network APN settings on a standard Iphone 3 ATT with a unlimited Straight Talk plan? Everyone knows that Straight Talk's $45 a month unlimited data/calling plan is supposed to be 100% compatible with AT&T carried Iphones. Will someone please tell me HOW TO UPDATE THE APN SETTINGS ON THIS IPHONE 3. Thanks and God bless

StraightTalk is not a supported carrier.
Contact them for support.
FYI, unless the device is officially unlocked from AT&T, you will not be able to use it on another carrier.

I've never used BC myself. But I would imagine it's the same for any project you develop in Dreamweaver. Do you have 3 external CSS files yet? Are you using Media Queries in the <head> of your documents?

Re: EOS Utility for the iPad?

There is an IOS app but from Nick or On One software but the last time I looked it was $24.95. Plus you need to connect the camera to a WiFi enabled computer. So it is like shooting tethered with the ability to control your camera remotely. Being that I am a street and landscape photog I never saw the value.

If you use one of the more recent generation of wireless file transmitters on your camera then it is possible to "effectively" use EOS Utility on the iPad or any other device with a web browser.
WFT units, usually the Mk II transmitters, support HTTP mode, configure this then browse to the camera's ip address then you can choose remote control, there's a simple version and an advanced version.
I wrote about this on my site in January.
http://www.p4pictures.com/2012/01/controlling-your-eos-camera-with-your-iphone/
Of course this means you need to get a WFT for your camera that supports the HTTP feature. So if you have the EOS 5D Mark II / III, EOS 7D or EOS 1D Mark III / EOS-1Ds Mark III, EOS-1D Mark IV or EOS-1D X then you are set...

How can i download eos utility for air mac

i have canon eos 40d and cant install EOS utility in my air mac .....please help me

The most recent version of AirPort Utility is AirPort Utility 5.5.3 for Windows
If you are having trouble downloading this, Apple has just introduced a number of new Mac updates, so it is possible that the servers may be temporarily overloaded.

EOS Utility for the iPad?

I was wondering if there will ever be an iPad version of the EOS utility? I'd rather use my iPad than a laptop to setup a shot with.

Is there any possible way to use my EOS Rebel XT for EOS Utility?

Okay, so i want to use EOS Utility on my Digital Rebel XT camera. In case you are wondering EOS Utility is used to take a picture with the camera by just clicking a button on the computer. Its used to make it so that any pictures i take arent shaky. Anyway, there is no link for the camera and when i go to the cameras homepage, and go to softwares, There is no download link for EOS Utility for my camera. Is there any way I can still use it on my Digital Rebel XT Camera? Let me know thanks

Is there any way I can still use it on my Digital Rebel XT Camera? Let me know thanks Other responses have gone off to explain some other solutions before answering your question. The simple answer is "NO". You cannot use your camera tethered to a computer, controlling it via EOS Utilities software (or Lightroom, for that matter). In order to do that, the camera must have the Live View feature. Your XT (aka 350D, from 2005) doesn't have Live View. There was a version of LV on the EOS 20Da (2005), a more complete implementation of it on the 40D (2007), and among the Rebel-series models the XSi and XS were the first to get LV (aka 450D & 1000D, both introduced in 2008). Other responses are on some right tracks, though. If your primary purpose is to help prevent camera shake, there are several other things you can do, which you may or may not be aware of... - Set a faster shutter speed. Of course, to do so may require a larger lens aperture and/or a higher ISO. - Get and use a lens with IS (Image Stabilization).- Use flash, it freezes both subject movement and camera shake, approx. like 1/720 shutter speed would, with most flashes.- Use a tripod along with:- - a remote release (RS-60E3 wired or RC-6 wireless)- - or just use the camera's self-timer delay - - and/or use mirror lockup (Custom Function 7) Tripod quality has a great deal of effect. Some are so flimsy as to be hardly worth using. For example, the most stable tripods do not use a center column or, if it has one, the tripod is tall enough to be used without raising the center column much or at all. Materials make a differentce, too... for example carbon fiber is much better absorbing fine vibration than metal. There are a number of other factors that go into making a tripod stable. Do some additional research, if interested. Note: RC-6 wireless release uses infra red and the sensor for it is on the front of the camera. This is certainly useful for self portraits, but may be problematic using this remote for other types of photos. In addition to the Canon RS-60E3 wired remote release, there are other brand remote switches including some that have additional features such as delay timers, interval timers (time lapse), etc. AFAIK, Canon does not make a timer/controller with E3 connectivity (like the TC-80N3, which will not connect with your camera) Note: The XT's self-timer delay is 10 seconds only. However, when used in conjunction with the mirror lockup feature, it's automatically shortened to a 2 second delay. Note: While IS lenses can make possible handholding lenses at shutter speeds 2, 3 or somtimes even 4 stops slower than you'd normally be able to use... the effectiveness of IS varies a bit from lens to lens and good handholding technique are still needed to get the best out of it. Some IS lenses require IS to be manually turned off when locked down on a tripod. The IS in those lenses can go into sort of a feedback loop where it's actually causing, rather than preventing movement. Don't worry too much about it, though... if it happens you'll see it in the viewfinder and then can turn off the IS. (No harm done to either the camera or the lens.) Hope this helps! ***********
