The Power of Wireless Connectivity
141
As quickly as the digital SLR has become commonplace in the
hands of professional photographers and enthusiasts alike, so
too has wireless communication between the SLR and external
components. The EOS series has a number of dedicated
Wireless File Transmitters that keep the camera connected to
the wireless world, simply, with tremendous speed. Whether
connected through a port on the side of the camera or incorpo-
rated into a camera-integrated design, Canon Wireless
Transmitters can connect and have two-way communication
with computers and handheld devices. folder, which copies the full file to the computer. EOS
Utility connectivity allows the photographer to connect a
single camera to a computer for advanced two-way commu-
nication. WFT controllers can also connect through USB or
Bluetooth to GPS units, and have coordinates, altitude and
time code added to each image’s shooting (or EXIF) data.
External hard drives can be attached for direct recording or
backup. Plus, select WFT models can be used as remote
control receivers, allowing for wireless shooting and con-
trol, from a range of web-enabled handheld devices — even
iPhones and the iPod Touch.
Wi-Fi & WPS
Connecting the camera to a network
over Wi-Fi with a Wireless Protected
Setup (WPS) couldn’t be simpler. There are three ways to
connect a WFT equipped EOS
with a Server: With a push
button configuration (PBC
Method), the photographer
selects WPS on the camera
and pushes the wireless LAN
terminal’s WPS button to make the connection. With the
WPS Pin Method, the photographer selects WPS (Pin
Method) on the camera and an 8-digit identification num-
ber is assigned and sent to the LAN terminal. Once con-
firmed, the secure connection is complete. Finally, a WPS
can also be set up with a connection wizard. The photog-
rapher selects the “wizard connection” on the camera’s
menu, selects a Wireless LAN terminal, sets an encryption
key and then enters it for a wireless connection.
File Transfer & FTP WFT
With a WFT and an FTP server, wireless remote live view
shooting is possible over the Internet, making it possible
to setup, shoot and save from a remote location.
Meanwhile, through an Internet browser, the camera’s
Live View image can be seen, settings can be confirmed
and changed, shots can be taken and images can be
recorded on the camera and computer simultaneously.
Media Server (DLNA)
Many Canon WFT devices are compatible with DLNA
(Digital Living Network Alliance) compliant devices. With a
WFT attached, the Digital EOS can create a dedicated DLNA
media server, allowing numerous points of access to
images, instantaneously and wirelessly. This means that
not only can media recorded on the EOS be uploaded wire-
lessly to a computer; they can also be viewed through
DLNA compatible audio systems, televisions, Digital Video
Players, even networked media players.
Camera Linking
A new fe ature available on WFT
transmitters, WFT-E2 II A*,
WFT-E4 II A and WFT-E5A, camera
linking makes it possible for up to
10 cameras to shoot the same
subject simultaneously, from dif-
ferent angles. Without a Wireless
Access Point, up to 10 cameras can be connected and set
up to take a shot the instant the shutter is released on the
Master (main) camera. With an effective distance of 150
meters, this linked shooting is invaluable for the best pos-
sible capture of sports, news and wildlife and other quickly
moving subjects that can be shot from a number of angles.
Bluetooth, USB (GPS)
Whether connected by Bluetooth or through
USB, GPS devices can be connected to Canon
WFT transmitters to transmit location and ele-
vation data along with the EXIF data for each image. With
Bluetooth connections, photographers can enjoy all of the
benefits of GPS units without the concern of tangled wires
interfering while shooting, and can connect directly to
Bluetooth compatible printers. With USB, not only are GPS
connections possible, it’s also easy to connect an external
Hard Drive for direct recording or backup.
EOS Utility Mode
With EOS Utility (previously
known as PTP), photogra-
phers can pair their camera
and a computer to remotely
configure camera settings,
do wireless Live View com-
posing and shooting and complete image transfer with a
direct wireless connection independent of a network or
Internet connection. Perfect for shooting wirelessly in
remote locations and for dedicated, secure connections
within the studio, EOS Utility mode is a useful alternative
to networked wireless shooting.
Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E2 II A*
Compatible with the EOS-1D Mark IV and the
EOS-1Ds Mark III (after a Firmware upgrade),
the compact new WFT-E2 II A connects directly
to the camera. It’s IIEE802.11 a/b/g compatible
for fast communication, and works with WPS
setups, the hyper-sophisticated Canon Camera
Linking Function and enables WFT Server
Remote Live View shooting. It can be a dedicated Media
Server, plus has Bluetooth and USB built in for connections
to GPS units and more. Designed to mount directly to the
side of the compatible EOS camera, it maintains the
integrity of all weather-resistant seals and the rugged dura-
bility of the camera while affording access to all the cam-
era’s buttons and controls.
Wireless File Transmitter
WFT-E4 II A
Built for the Canon EOS 5D Mark II,
the new WFT-E4 II A not only provides wireless functions,
it’s also a fully operational camera grip offering a full array
of buttons for seamless vertical shooting. The WFT-E4 II A
offers fast IIEE802.11 a/b/g connectivity, is perfect for
wireless camera linking and syncing, and is WPS and
Bluetooth compatible. It can be a wireless media server,
plus a remote Live View shooting server.
Wireless File Transmitter
WFT-E5A
Designed not only as a fully-func-
tioning dedicated grip with shutter release for the EOS 7D,
the New WFT-E5A is also an IIEE802.11 a/b/g compatible
wireless communication device offering the latest in wire-
less photographic shooting. It’s compatible with Wireless
Protected Setups (WPS), Wireless File Transfer Remote Live
View and with Media Servers. It can serve as a Master or
as a Slave unit during camera linking.
