Canon Camera Connect

I have the camera in my lap and the phone in my hands so distance between devices can't be the problem. It seems to me that the camera is going into sleep mode while the LCD screen is black (which is what the camera does when you connect it to the phone) and then after a short period of time it just disconnects again and I have to reconnect it many many many times, which I'm already going to have to edit and send these photos, which I'm sure you're familiar takes a lot of time. Stopping to reconnect the camera to the phone through the archaic camera WiFi control center that takes something that should be easy and turns into a proooocessss, and at the end of the day eats valuable time! There's also the chance that I'm just an idiot and maybe there's an automatic-battery saving - shut off timer that can be extended or delayed and I might just have it on the default setting which by the looks of is very fast to save on battery... just my best guess. I put 1 star so this could get some attention and I could possibly get some help to make this problem go away. I'm always willing to change the review upon actual rectification of this problem or at least an reasonable explanation that can give me some insight...

This is my first ever “real” camera. A canon EOS r100 (which I love) and being able to do everything this app allows me to do with both taking pictures (using it as a remote and changing camera settings which is the best when dealing with astrophotography) as well as being able to import and/or delete things from the memory card without it ever leaving the camera AND save to my phone for super easy sharing; is just absolutely amazing and makes this amateur photographer (who’s not actually great at getting pics off the device they were taken with (they typically just stay there) these features are perfect. Love it

I was hoping to use this app to turn an iPad into a dedicated high-res viewfinder to inspect shots immediately after shooting them, to verify focus, and check for any little details, which often go unnoticed on the small screen on the back of the camera. Unfortunately, this app fails to meet this need in a most frustrating and ridiculous way… Of course, the live view image is significantly reduced in size. This is expected. What surprises me is that after taking the shot, the app insists on displaying a low resolution version of the image and sticking it in this tiny window that cannot be expanded,. And when I click to download the full resolution image, it doesn’t display it! Instead, it offers to open it in another app, or download it to my iPhone Photos. And if I do that, it bounces me away from the Camera Connect app, and when I switch back to the Camera Connect app, it has disconnected from my camera! And so I must renegotiate the camera connection after viewing the full resolution image in another app. This is totally unworkable. This app assumes that I am some kind of social media influencer, not a professional photographer doing critical work. Very unfortunate. I’ll have to stick with desktop based solutions.
