Canon EOS R7 Camera Settings

Use the instructions below to change the camera settings required for proper communication between the Ortery software and compatible camera.

1. RF Lens Settings

The Canon RF-S18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STM Lens does not have physical toggles on its side (this step can be skipped in that case). If using a Canon lens with toggles, set:

1. Set Camera Focus toggle to AF.
2. Set the Image Stabilizer to OFF. (when using a tripod or mounting it on an Ortery system)
