digital · 2026-07-15

Capture One has introduced advanced wireless tethering for Canon cameras on its mobile platform, enhancing connectivity for photographers. This feature, which is limited to the Canon EOS R1 and EOS R5 Mark II, offers speeds that rival traditional wired connections. Users will see editable RAW files appear on their devices in under a second, with full-resolution versions following shortly after. The system employs standard Wi-Fi and provides automatic reconnection if the signal fails. CEO Rafael Orta highlighted the importance of this upgrade for professionals. The update is set to be available on July 15 for subscribers and perpetual license holders.
