How it works for Canon EOS R6 Mark II → ShootProof

Your phone sits between the camera and ShootProof: no laptop, no card reader.

Step 1
Canon EOS R6 Mark II
Connect it to your phone with a USB-C data cable or over Wi-Fi, then shoot as normal.
Step 2
Your phone
CloudTether copies each full-resolution photo off the camera seconds after the shutter and uploads it once.
Step 3
ShootProof
Every shot lands in ShootProof as a JPEG while you keep shooting — and in any other destination on the shoot.

How to live-upload Canon EOS R6 Mark II photos to ShootProof

Connect your Canon EOS R6 Mark II to your phone and every shot lands in ShootProof live as you shoot. Here's the full setup, start to finish:

1
Connect your Canon EOS R6 Mark II
Connect over USB with the camera set to PC/tether mode for the most reliable, fastest link. Or go wireless with the camera's “Remote control (EOS Utility)” Wi-Fi function — not “Connect to smartphone” — on the camera's own network, your phone's hotspot or a shared router. On a first wireless connection, approve the link on the camera body when prompted.
2
Connect ShootProof
Connects via ShootProof OAuth. Pick where photos should land — frames stream straight into the ShootProof event (or an album in it) you pick, so clients can proof and order before you've packed up.
3
Shoot as normal
Every frame your Canon EOS R6 Mark II captures is detected and downloaded at full resolution while you keep shooting. ShootProof receives the JPEGs — RAW files are skipped for it, so shoot RAW+JPEG.
4
Photos deliver to ShootProof
Each photo uploads from your phone once and lands in ShootProof live, seconds after the shutter — and fans out to any other destinations on the session too.

ShootProof in the CloudTether app

Connect ShootProof once, then every shoot from your Canon EOS R6 Mark II can deliver to it.

CloudTether Deliver tab with ShootProof under Add more, ready to connect — Tap ShootProof in the Deliver tab to connect it.

CloudTether New shoot screen: name the shoot, then tick the services under Deliver to — ShootProof appears here once it's connected — Start a shoot and tick ShootProof under “Deliver to”.

Connecting the Canon EOS R6 Mark II

The EOS R6 Mark II connects over its USB-C port with a single data cable to a USB-C phone or iPad (a Lightning iPhone needs Apple's camera adapter). As on every EOS body there's no USB mode to set: turn the camera's Wi-Fi off, don't leave it in a webcam or streaming mode, raise Auto power off so it doesn't sleep between sets, and plug in.

Wirelessly, use the camera's EOS Utility connection in its communication menu — not “Connect to smartphone(tablet)”, which only pairs with Canon's own app — on the same network as the phone or the phone's hotspot, and approve the pairing on the camera. It's the same protocol we've verified on the EOS R7, but we haven't tested the R6 Mark II's Wi-Fi, so try it before a job.

It's a favourite for weddings and receptions, where bursts in low light can produce a lot of frames. C-RAW keeps CR3 files smaller, and rated send lets you push only your starred frames: rate in playback during a lull and they're delivered seconds later.

Its CR3 files are smaller than a high-resolution body's, so sending RAW over mobile data is more practical than on an EOS R5. Still, at a reception with hundreds of frames an hour, JPEG only or rated send keeps a live gallery current without the phone falling behind.

Getting the most out of ShootProof

ShootProof receives JPEGs; RAW files and video are marked Skipped rather than failed, so shoot RAW+JPEG. Create the event in ShootProof before you start: CloudTether lists your events newest first and lets you pick the event itself or one album inside it. Each shoot has one ShootProof target, so for a wedding you might point the getting-ready shoot at one album and start a second shoot for the ceremony.

Proofing galleries don't need full-size files. Web (2048 px) or Large (4096 px) in the shoot's Delivery resolution loads quickly on a client's phone and stays inside ShootProof's per-file size limit; keep Original if clients will order big prints. The event's own settings — access, favourites, price sheet — apply to every photo CloudTether adds.

A typical day: create the event the night before, add albums for the parts of the day, and share the event link once the first frames are in. Because CloudTether adds photos the way a manual upload would, favourites, downloads and the price sheet work as normal — you don't change how you run ShootProof, only when the photos arrive.

Add Dropbox, Google Drive or an SFTP server to the same shoot to get the RAW off-site too.
A delivery watermark can be set in the shoot's settings on the web dashboard.
Two photographers can point their own phones at the same event.

A typical Canon EOS R6 Mark II to ShootProof workflow

Create the wedding event in ShootProof with albums for each part of the day, and point the first shoot at “Getting ready”.
Shoot RAW+JPEG on the R6 Mark II with JPEG only and Large (4096 px) delivery; start a new shoot for the ceremony album when you move on.
Star a dozen highlights in playback during cocktail hour — with rated send on, the couple's event has sneak peeks before the first dance.

Canon EOS R6 Mark II to ShootProof: what to know

The Canon EOS R6 Mark II is a full-frame body — wedding and event shooters who want speed and low-light performance. CloudTether pulls each frame off it the moment you shoot and delivers it to ShootProof: the JPEGs (ShootProof doesn't take CR3 RAW files, so shoot RAW+JPEG).

CR3 files are far larger than JPEGs, so if your ShootProof recipients only need to view or pick images, deliver JPEG for the fastest turnaround and keep the CR3 originals on the card or in a second destination.

ShootProof gets JPEGs (RAW and video are skipped), into the event or album you pick — shoot RAW+JPEG.
