Re: Canon 7D Mark i and WFT-E5A
It shouldn't appear in Tools -> Network cameras, that is the function you can use to specify your camera's address manually if automatic detection doesn't work. Instead, you should look for it in "Select a camera", and it sounds like the camera is detected, but something goes wrong when the application tries to actually communicate with it.
First of all, please install the latest version of the program and see if the error still occurs: https://www.heliconsoft.com/downloads/HeliconRemote.exe
If it does, send a bug report some 10 seconds after trying to select the camera (menu -> Help -> Report a bug).

Re: Canon 7D Mark i and WFT-E5A
I'm sorry, I meant to say "Select a Camera" instead of "Network Cameras". I did send a bug report, but it was not 10 seconds after. I will do that as soon as I can. I just bought Helicon Focus (6.8.0 pro) and Remote (ver. 3.9.5 W) a couple weeks ago.

Re: Canon 7D Mark i and WFT-E5A
We're studying the bug report and will reply to your e-mail soon.
Re: Canon 7D Mark i and WFT-E5A
I sent another bug report, this time using Infrastructure (using a wireless router). Same thing: camera appears in Select Camera, but when clicked -> wait icon then not selected.
I purchased the WFT-E5A about 2 weeks ago and have less than 2 weeks to return it if I can't get it to work with Helicon Remote. Being a software engineer with over 30 years experience, I know you guys are busy.

Re: Canon 7D Mark i and WFT-E5A
We don't understand what happens, this is a unique kind of error that we've never seen before.
Can you try the same on any other computer? Or an Android or iOS mobile device? I'd like to know whether the error is specific to this particular computer.

Re: Canon 7D Mark i and WFT-E5A
I have a laptop running windows 7 pro that I do not expose to the internet. I did try the same sequence of events on the laptop and got the same results. I appended the bug data below for the laptop.
Am I missing something? I use auto-settings.

Re: Canon 7D Mark i and WFT-E5A
We've studied this log and we're puzzled by it. We will add extra verbosity to the program log in order to better see what's going on, and we'll send you a new special version of the program tomorrow.
