EOS CAMERAS
can even be printed directly and wirelessly
to PictBridge (Wireless LAN) certified printers
without the need for a PC.
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 EOS-1D X and EOS 5D Mark III cameras,
respectively. 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 EOS 6D, EOS 70D, EOS Rebel T5i,
EOS Rebel SL1 and EOS Rebel T5 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 UTC time, and feature GPS Time Sync
Function and even an electronic compass that
records the camera’s orientation when shooting

— Wireless and Wireless LAN Functions —
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.
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 with EOS Remote App
The EOS 6D and EOS 70D cameras
incorporate sophisticated
capabilities into their compact
and lightweight design with built-in
Wi-Fi
®
. With Canon’s exclusive EOS Remote
App1 and built-in wireless technology,
the camera can connect directly to a compatible
smartphone 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

Wireless File Transmitter
WFT-E6A
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
anywhere in the world (Microsoft Internet
Explorer
®
, Apple Safari
®
, etc.). 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. With the EOS-1D X and EOS 5D Mark III
cameras a dedicated media server can also
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
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.
§
To use the older model WFT-E7 (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.

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 (EOS-1D X), WFT-E7A (EOS 5D Mark III),
WFT-E7 Ver. 2 (EOS 7D Mark II
§
) feature a/b/g
compatibility, WPS compatibility, WFT Server
Remote Live View, a camera linking function
and Bluetooth connectivity. The WFT-E6A and
