When using a compatible battery with Canon EOS M3, I thought it would be impossible to check the remaining battery power.

However, if you try the following method...

Using Canon's genuine iPhone app "Camera Connect"

First, launch the Canon genuine iPhone app "Camera Connect" and connect your iPhone and EOS M3.

After connecting, tap "Remote shooting". ↓

Then...

Is the battery level displayed?
You are definitely using compatible batteries.

What does that mean?
Is it an intentional restriction that the remaining amount is not displayed on the camera side?

Hmm...what a mysterious specification.

It was nice to have a way to check the remaining capacity of the compatible battery, but it's still difficult to use.
