6D wi-fi question

[pjtoadie]

I had a client ask me to shoot an event that the images need to be shared in real-time via a wi-fi projector. I have a 6D but I have no idea if that's even possible? I have never used the wi-fi feature. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Windows EOS utility have wifi remote app, that whenever you take photo allows you to transfer each photo taken to a directory in the pc via wifi router.

Problem is, you need a windows image viewer that display the latest photo on that directory. (I don't know if there is such software) - you can try settings in EOS utility to allow display photo that was just transferred.

Another good option.

Buy Toshiba FlashAir sd card. If you have android table. The Flash Air app will display latest photo taken each time, transfer time is about 30sec. Your problem now is, how to connect projector to the android tablet.

I don't think its possible unless you hard wire the camera to a tablet or computer, or hardwire the projector to computer or tablet (Most tablets do not have ethernet). A Tablet or computer can generally only connect to one Wi-Fi device at a time, but you might be able to add multiple Wi-Fi cards to a computer.

A possibility is using a Canon Wi-Fi adapter which can connect in a peer-peer situation without special software.

The the Wi-Fi cards and Wi-Fi enabled cameras need to have software installed on the device receiving the images, they do not just transmit to a folder on a computer or tablet.

Your 6D can automatically transfer images to a tablet, and a tablet can connect to a Epson projector. But, probably not at the same time, so that's the issue. Also, someone will have to operate or setup a slide show app to transmit images to the projector.


Assuming its one of the popular Epson projectors, you can likely figure it out how to do it here.
