Evoto Instant supports two tethered shooting methods: wired connection (USB/OTG) and wireless connection (FTP mode). Once connected,

you’ll see a camera connected icon in Evoto Instant Workspace; and your photos flow directly into Evoto Instant for AI processing and cloud upload.

Option 1: Wired Connection (USB/OTG)

Type-C phones (most Android devices and iPhone 15): connect directly with a Type-C data cable.
Non-Type-C phones (older Android devices and iPhone 14 or earlier): require an OTG adapter to use OTG functions.

Android Setup

Open a project in Evoto Instant.
A connection request will pop up. Select it and confirm.
If you see a prompt such as “Gallery wants to access your camera”, tap Cancel, then unplug and reconnect the USB cable.

Note: for Sony cameras, please ensure the camera is powered on.

If prompted for connection mode, select PC Remote.
If the camera is off or the wrong mode is chosen, the phone may only display USB Charger.

iOS Setup

When prompted “Evoto Instant would like to access your camera”, tap OK.

Note: For Canon and Nikon cameras: format the memory card before use. A card with too many existing images can slow the connection process.

Option 2: Wireless Connection (FTP Mode)

FTP mode allows real-time wireless transfer of photos from your camera to Evoto Instant.

Step 1: Enable FTP Mode in Evoto Instant

Open a project in Evoto Instant.
When prompted to select a tethered shooting mode, choose FTP Wireless Connection.
Evoto Instant will display an FTP server address, port number, username, and password. Keep this screen open.
