I'm wondering if there's a remote control available to control the exposure square in Live View mode? I do a lot of landscape photography and usually just bracket images to find the best exposure, but I'd like to move around the square in live view mode to get better exposure readings for multiple exposures without touching the camera while it's on a tripod. Does anyone make something like this? Maybe integrated with an iPhone or something?

Exposure Triangle?

What about EOS Remote isn't working with your 6D?

Don't you need to have a wifi signal to use that?

Ah ha! This could be the answer.......I think you also need a wifi signal for this right?

your 6D provides the wifi.

I've never really played with the wifi functions of it, but can you use this in a remote area with no phone signal or anything?

YES, the camera and virtually any device that can receive wifi can also throw out a signal.

Your phone/tablet connects to the wifi signal being given off by the camera. As long as you're in the range of the camera you will get the signal.
