Hi All
I have just swapped my old 500 D for an R7 and I can't get it to connect to my laptop.
If anyone has any bright ideas how I can accomplish what I thought would be relatively simple task I would be very grateful 🙂

Hello & Welcome, Mark!

While I don't own an R7 (I have a R5II), I'll assume you've followed Canon's instructions? Are you running Win11 or macOS on the laptop? Are you getting any error messages and what are they?

    Excellent Beginner's Camera, and a Very Good Enthusiasts Camera
    The R50 is a fine entry level/beginner/casual stills camera. It is not a pro level camera, but would be fine for hiking, street, family photos...
