3.3 Other problems
About RAW: Due to the special RAW format of Canon cameras, it cannot be saved to the iPhone's photo album. Therefore, photos in RAW format cannot be displayed and downloaded in the APP. It is recommended to use the JPG+RAW mode to take pictures, so that the JPG format photos can be transferred using the APP, and the RAW format photos are also stored in the card, which is convenient for subsequent editing by the computer.
Reinstall: After reinstalling the App, if the connection fails, you need to reconfigure it again according to the steps of the first use.
