- How to connect a Canon T6 (or any similar Canon camera) to a laptop or PC using USB
LINK
Once you select your camera the latest EOS Utility program is the one you'll need to download.
www.usa.canon....
ALTERNATIVE STEPS
If these steps didn't work for your Canon camera, here's 10 steps to wireless connect your camera to a computer if needed.
1. Press the MENU button to display the menu.
2. Use the keys of the Multi-controller and select Wireless communication settings under the tab.
3. Select Wi-Fi/NFC
4. Select Enable
5. Under the tool tab, set Auto power off to Disable if necessary.
6. Select Wi-Fi function
7. Select the computer option
8. Select Easy connection then select OK
9. On your computer find the SSID (now displayed on the camera) within the wifi settings. So it'll be the same as connecting to any wifi. The Encryption key (also displayed on the camera) is what you'll use as the password. Once you're connected select OK on your camera when it says Start paring devices.
10. Open the EOS Utility program on your computer. If you don't have it yet you can download it here
www.usa.canon....
Once the program is up, and you're still on the camera's wifi connection, select Paring over WiFi/LAN, select the camera then OK. On your camera select OK when it shows the connection to your computer. After this, as long as you have the EOS Utility program installed, it should start right away.

Thank you for sharing your feedback!
Hey man great review my problem is when I plug my canon camera SX620 to MacBook book my canon just freezes it shows nothing on the computer or camera that says it’s Hooked up can anyone help me with this?
Sorry for the late reply. But unfortunately the SX620 isn't listed to be compatible with the Utility program from what I saw on the Canon site.
I downloaded the utility program and it says I have to agree on some terms..and when I looked at the terms, they say that you cannot use any editing program to change the software...and I actually wanna edit some videos at my computer...what should I do? Should I just agree and edit regardless of the terms? Or will there be a problem?
How was this so hard to do? And why is this the best directions on the internet?
Thank you so much.
Wow, thank you for this comment!

Your video was very helpful. Nobody talks about turning wifi off when using usb cable. I didn't know why there was no pop-up on my laptop when I plugged in the cable. Thank you.
Great to hear!
I cannot express how happy I am because of this video. This is the only video that I've commented on ever, but I feel the urge to because I'm so damn happy right now. I've been researching this for two days, and I just went to this video, and as my Macbook said it connected, I was on the brink of tears. I'm forever in your debt, thank you.
Wow... this is the best comment I've woke up to in awhile. This gives me so much of motivation to keep making videos like this one to help others in need of information. Thank You for taking the time to type this comment! Much Love 💙

Happy I could assist! And thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. I really appreciate it.
