Connectivity and Storage

built-in wireless (Wi-Fi) connectivity ( 802.11b/g/n with NFC) which lets you transfer your photos directly to compatible devices without any physical connection. With its
NFC feature, T7 can communicate with devices such as smartphones which are also equipped with this technology by simply touching each other.One other feature that we like is the ability to use our smartphone as a remote to control our T7. You can change camera settings, release shutter, view LCD screen and tranfer files using remote control app.
You can connect T7 to compatible devices via its HDMI port or USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/sec) port.
Battery
Canon T7 is powered by battery which provides a shooting life of 500 according to CIPA standards.
Considering that the average battery life of DSLR type cameras is 886 shots, Canon T7 has a short battery life for its class so we strongly recommend T7 owners to buy some extra batteries.
