With the widespread of Wi-Fi wireless network technology and smartphone, Canon has incorporated built-in Wi-Fi functions into EOS 6D and EOS 70D, which let users enjoy more flexible photography and make sharing easier. The built-in Wi-Fi of EOS is con-formed to popular IEEE802.11b/g/n standard, ensuring best compatibility with most smartphones and Wi-Fi routers. The maximum link speed is approximate 150Mbps with an effective range of 30m.

The Wi-Fi module of EOS 6D is housed on the top of camera.
