Canon Camera R8 Support

VhmQr970

Hello,
I have a canon camera R8, and I have seen various entries about support, but nothing conclusive. I have an asiair plus, runing software 2.3 and firmware 11.56, but my camera cannot connect, or when connected nothing shows up under main (camera) in the app I am using a official canon usb cable which works fine, (used for charging when the camera is off)
so the question is, is this camera supported, or should i wait for 2.4. or is there something or some setting i'm missing.

regards
Jeff

Canon R8 cannot currently connect directly to ASIAIR, even with the official USB cable.
You can use a shutter release or Intervalometer for manual shooting, but you cannot achieve fully automatic control of ASIAIR.
If you must use ASIAIR for control, it is recommended to switch to another compatible camera (introduction on the official website), or wait for future firmware updates, which may add this camera in the future.
