[Solved] Live view issue with Canon EOS 6D + iPad Air 1.

[zypie]

Hi,

I have some problems with Live View option.
I can review photos on iPad once they are taken.
But I cannot preview before taking photos.
I try to change the RAW format to JPG, same problem.

I'm wondering if liveview really works with my configuration :

iPad Air 32G + Canon Eos 6D.

Both are connected on wifi with an Huawei e5251 3G router.

I've also tested connected to my home Linksys router : same problem.
So the problem is not the router.

Live View option is enabled on my event configuration.
I can use Live View through wifi with the official Canon application (Canon Camera Connect) so it means that LiveView can works on wifi with Eos 6D. (Preview, liveview and review and remote configuration works really good with this app)

How can I solve this? I have 2 events planned on next week-end and it will be better with than without liveview.

If anyone can help me, that would be great.

Thank you.

Please check if it is the wifi that is the problem:
Please have the 6D create its wifi hotspot and connect the ipad directly to that, then see if live view works better in wifibooth.

Unfortunately this method never worked for me.
I can connect my iPad directly to my 6D and use Canon Camera Connect perfectly, but with this connexion method, Wifibooth does not connect to my 6D. Using the router is the bypass method I've founded.

After spending hours (and less than 1 hour after posting my question ^^) to find a solution : it works!!

Solution to my problem :

I disabled then re-enabled liveview on my 6D (in Menu > LiveView > Disabled)
After relaunching wifibooth it works perfectly.

In a second time, I also tried to connect my iPad directly to my 6D to use WifiBooth, it also works! (I haven't tried this connexion method for a while and there where many update of your app since)

I leave this post open with a solved mention if it can help someone else.

Thank Tim for your fast reply, you've done great job with this app, (even when I could not used LiveView before, I have always thought it ^^)

Wow that's great, thanks for letting me know! I have never heard of this problem but your solution makes sense: probably your 6D was in a state that wifibooth did not understand, but the official canon app did. Well done on getting it working!
