7. Enable Built-in Wi-Fi
Another really cool feature of the 6D is its built-in Wi-Fi. Photographers have been asking for this feature for years to help them streamline their workflow. With Wi-Fi turned on, you have the ability to:
• Transfer images between cameras (that also have Wi-Fi)
• Connect to a smartphone or tablet to review images or to use the device as a wireless remote
• Print images using a Wi-Fi printer
• Operate the camera remotely using the EOS Utility software
• Send images to a web service (Canon Image Gateway)
• View images straight off the camera using a media player
