    Hello....And a cheeky question 😊

    Hi all.

    I've just recently purchased a 200D after moving from another manufacturer.

    I'm based in Sunderland in England and prefer landscape and seascape photography generally.

    I've already added a Sigma 70-300 and the Canon 10-18mm to the kit lens and love the results so far. (Anyone wanting a quick look at my stuff its at www.robintaylorphotography.uk)

    I love the remote shooting facility via WiFi on my phone but have a question...


    When using the Connect app, everything connects via WiFi (or Bluetooth for image transfer). for remote shooting the app connects fine to my Galaxy S8..so far so good...but, unless I keep my phone screen on the WiFi connections drops and I have to go through the (laborious) reconnection process again every time. Obviously this batters the battery life on the phone. I have the phone WiFi set to 'never sleep' and Bluetooth/NFC are also on (although I believe this is more for photo transfer and initial connect rather than maintaining the connection).

    Anyone have any way around this ?

    Thanks

    Robin

    Hello Robin and welcome.

    I can't help you with your 200D issue, but plenty of members here have one and should be able to answer your query.

            I use a 200D with an iPhone SE.....I just tested this and the connection is maintained when I switch the phone screen off.
            Switching cannon connect on has the same effect of switching the camera into live view mode....switching the phone screen on and off has the effect of switching the cameras live view on and off but the connection remains.
