Pairing and Establishing a Connection
Turn on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on the EOS R5, go to Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connection, select Connect to smartphone, Add a device to connect to, and Pair via Bluetooth. Launch Camera Connect and tap the camera; on iOS, follow the prompts to tap Pair, and then confirm according to the camera screen instructions. After Bluetooth pairing is complete, select the desired functions in the app to establish a Wi-Fi connection. Do not initiate camera pairing directly from the Bluetooth settings page on the phone system. [G-CC-01, G-CC-05]
Browsing, Remote Shooting, and Auto Transfer
The Camera Connect functions listed in the EOS R5 manual include browsing and saving images in the camera, remote live view shooting, auto transfer settings, and Bluetooth remote control. The Bluetooth remote control is not available when the camera is connected via Wi-Fi. The manual requires the camera and phone to be connected via Wi-Fi before auto transfer, then enable Send to smartphone after shot and Auto send on the camera, and select Size to send.

Selecting Transfer Method According to the Manual and Handling Pairing Issues
The EOS R5 can send images to Android phones paired via Bluetooth (Android only) or phones connected via Wi-Fi; you can select the size to send during transfer. Therefore, do not consider "RAW CR3 files can definitely be imported into the phone gallery or a specific editing app" as a universal guarantee. The actual support for the target model, file format, and app must be verified separately. If re-pairing fails, Canon recommends clearing old camera pairing records stored on the phone; you can also delete the corresponding connection information in the camera connection settings before pairing again. Bluetooth connections will still consume power after the camera automatically shuts down. [G-CC-04, G-CC-05]
