Unique installation details for each model are included. --- ### **Setting Up Your Entagged Device** Before you begin, ensure you have the correct Entagged model, USB or HDMI cable, and magnetic plug (if applicable) for your camera. You can check the [Entagged compatibility list](https://www.foolography.com/products/entagged/compatibility/). Disable the following settings before plugging in your Entagged device (if available on your camera): - ✓USB charging - ✓Built-in WiFi - ✓FTP Upload - ✓LAN - ✓Tethering **Please note:** In this article, "USB" refers to USB-C, Micro-USB, Mini-USB, and USB-8P ports and cables. Similarly, "HDMI" will refer to standard HDMI (HDMI-A), Mini-HDMI (HDMI-C), and Micro-HDMI (HDMI-D) ports and cables. The type of cables needed depends on your camera model, which is why providing this information is necessary when purchasing your Entagged device. The setup process and outcome are the same. --- ### **Canon Setup** | 1. 1Snap the magnetic USB plug onto the back of the Entagged device. 2. 2With the Entagged logo facing you, ensure its port is facing upwards. 3. 3Plug the "Foolography" end of the HDMI cable into the top of the Entagged. The cable should point to the **right**. 4. 4Plug your Entagged device (with attached HDMI cable) into your camera’s USB port, and plug the other end of the HDMI cable into your camera’s HDMI port. If the HDMI cable is too close to the Entagged device, you can rotate the Entagged device by 90º or 180º to allow for more space. You can also tuck the HDMI cable behind the Entagged device for a cleaner look. 5. 5Turn on your camera. The LED of the Entagged should now light up. If not, check that the cable is plugged in the correct direction (step 3) as this is one of the most frequent missteps. | ![An image showing the Entagged device connected to a Canon camera via the USB port, and a second HDMI cable also connected from the device to the camera.](https://help.gotphoto.com/hubfs/gotphoto-migration/ASlNedaP3_xuebnO53ugf0s-XbQGDe4GFg.png) | | --- | --- | **If your camera has a Micro-USB 3.0 port:** The Micro-USB 2.0 magnetic plug is backward compatible and fits into the wider half of the Micro-USB 3.0 port. --- ### **Nikon Setup** The instructions for plugging your Entagged device into your Nikon camera depend on the model of your Entagged device. #### **N1 Model** | 1. 1For Z8 and Z9 models, change the USB setting in your camera menu to enable camera control: 1.
