Re: Best to treat USB-C port as "emergency backup"

Thank you all for your insights! It is very much appreciated and as usual, you guys come to the rescue.

I was going to trouble shoot this by using a process of elimination. The first thing I have done is turn the wi fi off on the camera.

I booted camera up and the computer recognised the camera straight away and the files downloaded seamlessly.

My question is:

Is a WIFI issue known to cause a conflict that upsets the transfer of files by cable?

Has my experiment , in all probability solved the problem? I guess I will find out in due course.

Again, thanks to you all.

Glad you were able to solve the problem. I would suggest a good card reader though. I would rather wear out a reader connection than the one on the camera. You mentioned being paranoid about loosing images? The R5 has 2 card slots and I set my camera to record RAW to both. If I get a corrupt file or a bad card, I have a backup. I have a CFExpress card reader that also has a SD slot. The CFExpress card rarely gets removed from the camera, I use the SD card for my downloads. But I have a plan should it ever fail.
