BYEOS works wirelessly with a Canon 6d

[telfish]

Following on from some discussion on CN I tried the trick of first starting EOS utility. Connecting to the camera then closing down the utility and opening up BYEOS. The 6D connects and works perfectly with BYEOS! Using wireless.

 

 

Can someone try this with the EOS-M2

Terry, 

I tried that and after closing EOS Utility and then BYEOS could not connect to the 6D.

I will go rent a 6D for a weekend sometime and try to implement the wifi connection.

Strange it works for me every time. You will need to setup your connection to the utility, then connect to it and make sure the camera is being controlled. Then close it down and open up BYEOS.

 

You should then connect wirelessly when you press connect in BYEOS.

 

It's a kludge but it does work!

I had a similar problem with EOS Utility.  After you start it and make the connection go into Task Manager and disable EOS Utility in START UP.  See if that get things to work.  I updated EOS Utility and it would automatically be prepared to open when a camera was plugged in.  When BYEOS starts it detects  EOS Utility and will not connect.  I have4since found that if you start EOS Utility it enables itself in the Start Up menu and has to be disabled in Task Manager to be able to use BYEOS.

 

  Hope this solves your connection problem.

Thank you for the tip on the wi0fi and 6D.

 

I'm not sure if you saw this conversion on CN.

Basically the EOS M2 (just as the EOS M1) is crippled.

 

By that I mean Canon removed ALL fireware and SDK capability to do remote shooting.  Wifi will not add that functionality back in... it only replaces the need for a physical cable.

 

IT works with the 6D because it has all the inner workings (and SDK support) to work over wifi for remote shooting.  This is NOT the case for the EOS M1 and M2.

 

BTW, I have an EOS M2... so I did the test myself a few days ago.

 

Hope this help,

Did you follow this thread and first use the EOS Utility to configure the wireless connection?
