Get yourself connected

The EOS R5 can form faster, more stable wireless connections, thanks to built-in dual-band 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and support for 802.11a, b, g, n and 802.11ac standards. An always-on Bluetooth Low Energy connection keeps the camera connected to smart devices, allowing images to be browsed from, edited with and transmitted on phones and tablets from location.

The camera can use Wi-Fi to communicate with smart devices, upload images to the cloud via the image.canon gateway or send images directly by FTP.

For professional photographers with a need to deliver photos directly to clients quickly and securely from location, the EOS R5 offers built in FTP and FTPS using the camera’s built-in Wi-Fi. FTP settings can be configured in-camera or off-line using EOS Utility software, and up to 10 presets saved for instant recall.

An optional WFT-R10 Wi-Fi grip is available for the EOS R5, which also features a gigabit ethernet connection for wired network connections and adds MIMO antennas for longer range Wi-Fi with less interference. Secure image transmission by SFTP is also added.

When photos are rated or tagged with a voice memo, this metadata can be transmitted alongside the image files – invaluable information for picture editors and agency staff.

FTP Transfer Status Display
This display, requested by news and sports photographers when sending images via FTP, shows how long it will take to send the images. This enables photographers to make an informed decision regarding remaining where they are and finishing the transfer or seeking a faster connection elsewhere.

Protect image transfer
Useful for many news and sports photographers is the option to automatically “protect” images which have been sent to a FTP server. Protecting images means they are locked and can’t be accidentally deleted and are easily to identify which images were sent to a client, when they are all transferred to your computer after the shoot.

For total control of FTP capabilities and ability to add IPTC data and voice memos to images Canon Mobile File Transfer app expands the FTP capabilities of your camera using your smartphone.
