The wireless
capabilities of my
Canon file transmitters
and Canon Speedlite
flashes streamline
my creative workflow.
The file transmitter
allows wardrobe
stylists, make-up
artists, and clients to
see my results "in the
moment" and my
wireless Speedlite
makes lighting changes
a snap. I love 'em!

Linked Multi-Camera Shooting – Using multiple
WFT units on compatible EOS digital cameras,
up to ten slave/remote cameras can be linked
wirelessly to a master camera. Connections are
made simply and conveniently via wireless LAN.
Remote camera shutters are automatically
tripped when the master camera shutter is
released. With such a setup, a photographer
can, for example, shoot simultaneously from
various angles.
Built-in Wireless and NFC with
Camera Connect App
Select EOS cameras incorporate
sophisticated capabilities into
their compact and lightweight
design with built-in Wi-Fi
®
and
NFC (Near Field Communication)
technology. With the Camera Connect App
1
and
built-in wireless technology, the camera can
connect directly to a compatible smartphone
2
for remote operation. Exposure settings, focus
and shutter can be operated wirelessly, so that
images can be reviewed, rated, deleted, filed
and transferred. Full DLNA (Digital Living
Network Alliance) compatibility means easy
sharing between the EOS camera and other
DLNA certified products, like HDTVs, game
consoles and more. Images from the camera
can be uploaded instantly to CANON iMAGE
GATEWAY
#
for easy sharing and photos can
even be printed directly and wirelessly to
PictBridge (Wirelesss LAN) certified printers
without the need for a PC. Built-in NFC
technology enables virtually seamless
connection to your compatible smart device
installed with the Camera Connect app,
establishing a Wi-Fi
®
connection for quick, easy
sharing of your images.
Built-in GPS Transmitter
With built-in GPS
††
, the EOS 6D
and EOS 7D Mark II cameras can
record longitude, latitude and
altitude data as EXIF data, have a logging
function that can track movement at set
intervals, and can even set the camera’s
internal clock to local time!
Expandable Accessories
The GPS Receivers GP-E1
†
and GP-E2
†
attach to
the select EOS cameras. The receivers offer the
same dust and waterproof protection as the
camera body itself; the GP-E2 even features its
own power supply. GPS Receiver GP-E2 can also
connect to the select EOS cameras via hot shoe
or a digital terminal. Canon GPS receivers are
always ready to append location data to images.
They record latitude, longitude/elevation and

computer for advanced two-way communication
and professional tethered camera operation.
WFT units can also connect to select GPS
††
units,
adding location and time code shooting data.
Plus, WFT models can be used as remote control
receivers, allowing for wireless shooting and
control, from a range of wireless-enabled handheld
devices, including compatible smartphones.
USB Host Capability with GPS Support –
Photographers can take full advantage of the
WFT unit’s USB host capability* by connecting a
compatible GPS device via USB cable or optional
Bluetooth dongle. This makes it possible to add
GPS coordinates, altitude and UTC time code to
embedded shooting data within image files.
Compatible GPS units include several in
Garmin’s GPSMAP series and in the Magellan
eXplorist series (using NMEA 0183 v.2.0.1
output data standard or “Garmin protocol”).
USB Host capability also allows connectivity
to some external hard drives for added
storage options.
Weather-Resistant Design –The WFT units
designed for the EOS-1D class professional
DSLR cameras feature rugged and lightweight
magnesium alloy bodies, just like the cameras
to which they attach. Moreover, they feature
the same fully sealed construction, helping to
ensure that the highly weather-resistant design
of the camera is not compromised.
Extensive Wired and Wireless LAN Functions –
Select WFT units not only support wireless
LAN environments but also enable wired**
network connections, providing high-speed
100Base-TX communication (the WFT-E7A
supports 1000Base-T). Built-in WPS (Wi-Fi
Protected Setup) makes it easy to make secure
LAN connections.
§
To use the older model WFT-E7A (not Version 2), the
firmware must be updated and Interface Cable
IFC-40AB II or IFC-150AB II must be used.
*
The WFT-E6A and WFT-E7A provide an internal Bluetooth
function but do not have USB host capability. A
dedicated GP-E1 accessory is available for the EOS-1D X.
USB Host functionality is available only on the WFT-E2 II A,
WFT-E5A, and WFT-E4A.
**
The WFT-E6A has no provision for wired LAN connectivity
because the EOS-1D X is equipped with a Gigabit
Ethernet port.
1 This software enables you to upload images to social
network services. Before uploading images, please be
aware that image files may contain privacy related
information such as people and places. If necessary,
please delete such information. Canon does not obtain,
collect or use such images or any information included
in such images through this software.
2 Compatible with iOS version 5.0 or later and Android
devices version 2.3/4.0 or later. Data charges may apply.

One-time registration is required on CANON iMAGE
GATEWAY online photo album.
†
The GP-E1 does not require any additional USB or
Bluetooth connections to communicate with the
EOS-1D X. The EOS 5D Mark III requires a firmware
upgrade to be compatible with the GPS Receiver
GP-E2, which is now available.
††
In certain countries and regions, the use of GPS may be
restricted. Therefore, be sure to use GPS in accordance
with the laws and regulations of your country or region.
Be particularly careful when traveling outside your home
country. As a signal is received from GPS satellites,
take sufficient measures when using in locations where
the use of electronics is regulated.
Wireless Transmitter Technology
As quickly as the DSLR
camera has become
commonplace in the
hands of professional
photographers and
enthusiasts alike, so
too has wireless
communication
progressed between
the camera and external
components. The EOS
DSLR cameras have a
number of dedicated
Wireless File Transmitters that keep the
camera wirelessly connected with tremendous
speed. Whether connected through a port on
the side of the camera, or incorporated into a
camera-integrated design – some units serve
as an auxiliary handgrip – Canon Wireless
Transmitters can connect securely to Local
Area Networks (LAN) wirelessly (with a range
up to approximately 500 feet) or directly, and
can connect and upload to FTP (File Transfer
Protocol) or dedicated WFT Servers.
Fast, Reliable Image Data Transfer– The
WFT-E6A, WFT-E7A and WFT-E7A Ver. 2 feature
a/b/g compatibility, WPS compatibility, WFT
Server Remote Live View, a camera linking
function and Bluetooth connectivity. The
WFT-E6A and WFT-E7A conform to IEEE 802.11
a/b/g/n standards, performing up to 2.5x
faster (for the WFT-E6A) and up to 3x faster (for
the WFT-E7A) than other models, and feature an
image resend feature that helps ensure that all
images get transferred, even if wireless signal
drops interrupt transmission.
Media Server Function – Models such as the
WFT-E7A, WFT-E6A and WFT-E5A also include
a media server function. With all models, in WFT
Server mode, up to three separate computers
can access the camera’s memory card using a
standard web browser from virtually anywhere
in the world. Images can be selected from the
browser window and dragged onto a computer’s
desktop or to a folder, which copies the full file
to a computer. Remote firing of the camera over
the Internet is also possible using the Remote
Live View function. Select EOS cameras also
allow a dedicated media server to be created
with DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance)
compliant devices, allowing numerous points of
access to images instantaneously.
Computer Connectivity – EOS Utility Mode, or
PTP (Point-to-Point) connectivity, allows the
photographer to connect a single camera to a
UTC time, and feature GPS Time Sync Function
and even an electronic compass that records
the camera’s orientation when shooting
