How to tether the EOS R3

  1. 1

    Connect your EOS R3

    Connect over USB with the camera set to PC/tether mode for the most reliable, fastest link. Or go wireless over the camera's Wi-Fi (EOS bodies broadcast their own network) or a shared network. On a first wireless connection, approve the link on the camera body when prompted.

  2. 2

    Create a session & pick destinations

    Open CloudTether on your phone, start a session, and choose where the photos should land — one destination on Free, several on Pro.

  3. 3

    Shoot as normal

    Every frame your EOS R3 captures is detected and downloaded at full resolution — JPEG, or CR3 RAW on Pro — while you keep shooting.

  4. 4

    Photos deliver automatically

    Each photo uploads from your phone once and fans out to every destination on the session — no duplicate uploads, no waiting until you're home.
