FAQ
Canon setup: questions
Something else? Ask us on WhatsApp, we reply the same day.
The camera shows an FTP error.
Most errors are the address, port or password. Re-enter them exactly as shown in Photomitra and check Passive mode is enabled.
Can I send RAW too?
Send JPEG only: guests can't open RAW files and they double the upload time. Your RAW files stay on the card.
Two photographers, two Canons?
Give each camera its own folder (/cam01, /cam02) with the same team login, or a separate team.
Stuck on a menu?
Send us a photo of the camera screen on WhatsApp and we'll tell you the next step.
