iPhone 14 will not detect Eos R5 or GFX100s... Tethered with brand new original iPhone Lightning <---> USC-c cable, same w/ slightly older cable. Wireless tethering: same story! Both cameras tether fine to M1 MacBook Pro. Did anyone test this [REDACTED]?
Hi Jeroen Bouman, be sure to review the Capturing Images (iPhone) article. As per this article:
Hope this helps!
We would also appreciate it if you could keep the tone friendly :)
If I have the fujifilm subscription, can I also use and connect it to the app? or is it only for pc?
Hey FirstName LastName, you can get Capture One mobile as part of our All in One bundle or subscribe directly in the app through Apple.
And that's a great question! I've updated the article a bit to make it clearer.
I use a nikon z9.Can I use tether mode to import photos to the iPhone, but at the same time save them to the card in the camera?
