Which camera for Photo Booth use?

 
For Photo Booth use, the Canon EOS R100 is currently one of the best all-round cameras for photo booth use. It offers excellent image quality and fast Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus, making it practical to use autofocus in live view for both still and video booth modes.

 

The R100 is compact, lightweight, and part of Canon;s modern RF mirrorless system, making it easy to mount in booths while supporting a wide range of lenses via RF or EF adapters. Overall, it provides an excellent balance of performance, reliability, and value for most photo booth setups.

Wireless Tethering (WiFi operation)

 

Remote Pro can wirelessly control recent cameras including the Canon EOS R series cameras, Canon EOS M6 Mark II, Canon EOS 90D, Canon EOS 80D, Canon EOS 77D, Canon EOS 70D, Canon EOS 6D Mark II, Canon EOS 6D, Canon EOS 800D/Rebel T7i, Canon EOS 200D/Rebel SL2 and mid to high end Canon DSLRs with the appropriate Canon WFT Wireless File Transmitter.

Before running Remote Pro the connection between the camera and computer needs to be setup by using the wireless settings on the camera and by running Canon's EOS Utility Launcher software (which can be downloaded from Canon's website with their EOS Utility software). Click on the "Pairing over WiFi/LAN" button and then select wifi connection on the camera and "Remote control (EOS Utility)" on the camera to establish the connection between the camera and computer. Please see the camera instruction manual for more information on how to setup the connection.

 

 

Older Canon cameras which come with a software CD may require Canon's WFT Pairing Utility to be run on the PC to setup the connection.

 

Once the camera and PC have been paired successfully Remote Pro will connect to the camera just like a normal wired USB connection. Please make sure no other software (e.g. Canon's EOS Utility) is running as this may prevent Remote Pro from connecting to the camera.

 

In operation the wireless connection should work just the same as a normal wired USB connection and give full access to the camera's controls, live view etc. The wireless connection may be slower than a USB connection, particularly as the distance between the camera and computer or wireless access point increases.

 

Please note: It is not possible to connect to the Canon EOS 1300D/Rebel T6, Canon EOS 750D/Rebel T6i or Canon EOS 760D/Rebel T6s wirelessly from a PC. These camera models can only be controlled wirelessly from a smart phone or tablet.

Older cameras with WiFi built-in to the camera may not support video capture when connected via wifi or LAN.
