Wi-Fi / NFC, Bluetooth Low Energy and GPS Logging Function
Wi-Fi / NFC connectivity* makes it easy to transfer photo and movie files to a paired smartphone for uploading onto cloud storage or to social media. With NFC, all you need to do is tap the paired smartphone and the camera together to initiate file transfer via Wi-Fi. Compatibility with Bluetooth low energy** provides a low-powered, constant connection to the smartphone, allowing remote shooting and instant switching to Wi-Fi connection when needed without any re-configuration***. The EOS 6D Mark II also features a GPS logging function that enables you to geotag images (including Coordinated Universal Time as well as geographic information), which comes in handy not just for keeping a record of shooting locations (whether it's for work or purely for recollecting fond memories) but also for organizing images by location.
*Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity with the camera requires Canon's dedicated application, Camera Connect, available for download free-of-charge from the App Store and Google Play.
**The following system requirements must be met for Bluetooth connectivity:
For Android, Android 5.0 or later and Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth compatible) or later are required.
For iOS, Bluetooth 4.0 (Bluetooth compatible) or later is required (iPhone 4s or later, iPad 3rd generation or later, iPod touch 5th generation or later).
Some devices that fulfill the above requirements may not be able to connect via Bluetooth. Image transfer and other remote operations will still be possible through Wi-Fi connectivity
***Establishing pairing beforehand is required. In some cases, an iOS smart device may require operation from the device side.
