Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E2 WFT-E2A This product is offered in two versions, WFT-E2 and WFT-E2A. Each version operates on a different number of wireless LAN channels. The WFT-E2 can transmit on 13 channels, and the WFT-E2A, on 11 channels. This difference in the number of channels available is due to varying radio regulations in areas of use. In other respects, the WFT-E2 and WFT-E2A are identical. They are operated in the same way.
Thank you for purchasing a Canon product. The Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E2 is an accessory for EOS-1D Mark III cameras (supporting wireless and wired LAN functions and equipped with a USB port). It enables the following operations. The WFT-E2 is compatible with IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g wireless LANs as well as 100 Base-TX Ethernet wired LANs.

Connecting External Media Unplugging External Media from the USB Port Before unplugging external media from the USB port, always select [Disconnect] as shown in step 5. Follow the instructions displayed to terminate the connection. The connection will not be terminated if you simply turn off the camera and external media. If you unplug external media while the connection is still active, plug the external media into the USB port again and follow the preceding steps to terminate the connection.
Choosing Recording Media When Shooting Images can be stored on external media connected via USB just as on CF and SD cards. You can also configure [Record func.], [Record/play], and [Folder] settings (described below) to use the external media. For details, refer to the Camera Instruction Manual (page 73). On the [5] tab, select [Record func+media/folder sel.]. X The icon for external media is displayed next to icons for the CF and SD cards. Complete the following settings, as needed.
Choosing Recording Media When Shooting [Record/play] Setting When you select external media in [Record/play], the [Select location for DCIM folder] screen is displayed. The DCIM folder contains the EOS1D folder, where images are stored. To create the DCIM folder in the first folder displayed when the external media is opened (that is, the root directory), select the default setting of [/]. To create another parent folder for the DCIM folder, select [Create folder].
Copying Images Images can be copied to external media connected via USB just as to CF and SD cards. 1 On the [5] tab, select [Record func+media/folder sel.]. 2 Select the source media in [Record/ play]. 3 On the [3] tab, select [Image copy]. X The icon for external media is displayed next to icons for the CF and SD cards. After selection, press the <7> button to return to the menu screen. 59 6 Using External Media For subsequent instructions, refer to the Camera Instruction Manual (page 125).
Backing Up on External Media Images stored on CF or SD cards can be backed up on external media. Initially, captured images are stored in the DCIM folder on CF or SD cards. Selecting [External media backup] backs up this DCIM folder to external media. 1 On the [3] tab, select [External media backup]. 2 Check the free space on the media. 3 Select the method of backup. Make sure more space is available on the external media than the amount used on the memory card.
Backing Up on External Media Quick Backup A simple method of backup is available, as follows. 1 Select [Quick backup]. 2 Select the source memory card. 3 Select [Start]. 6 Using External Media 4 Select [OK]. X The backup process now begins. When the message indicating completion is displayed, select [OK].
Backing Up on External Media Where the DCIM Folder is Stored The DCIM folder is stored in a directory indicated by a file path such as [u/07031902/]. The target folder name comprises the current date (last two digits of the year, in addition to the month and day) and numbers representing the order the folder was created, in a range of 01 to 99. In the example shown at left, the folder displayed when the external media is opened (that is, the root directory) is named 07031902.
Backing Up on External Media 4 Select [Create folder]. 5 Enter the [Folder name]. 6 Select [Start]. 7 Select [OK]. Always use 8 characters for the folder name. For instructions on entering the folder name, refer to “Virtual Keyboard Operation” (p.18).

Backing Up on External Media External Media Case The provided external media case can hold portable hard disks up to 120 x 75 x 15 mm/ 4.72 x 2.95 x 0.59 in.
Using GPS Devices Commercially available GPS devices connected via USB can obtain information including the latitude, longitude, altitude, and date and time of shooting and add it to images. The additional information can be checked on the camera as well as by using GPS-compatible mapping software. The transmitter can be used with Garmin GPSMAP or eTrex series or Magellan eXplorist series GPS devices that produce data in the format NMEA 0183 Ver. 2.0.
Connecting GPS Devices Turn off the GPS device and camera before connecting them. When connecting GPS devices, be sure to use the USB cable provided with the camera. The transmitter USB port is not hot-pluggable. USB cables cannot be connected or disconnected at any time. Follow the instructions in this section when connecting or disconnecting USB cables. 66 1 Plug the GPS device into the USB port. 2 In [WFT settings], select [USB device connec.]. 3 Select [GPS]. 4 Select [Connect].
Connecting GPS Devices 5 Select [OK]. After selecting [OK], turn the GPS device on. It may take a few minutes to establish a connection with the GPS device. Camera operations such as shooting, menu display, or image playback are not possible until the connection is established. When the transmitter is connected to the GPS device, the transmitter’s lamp is lit in green and a message is displayed indicating that a connection has been established.
Connecting GPS Devices Unplugging GPS Devices from the USB Port Before unplugging GPS devices from the USB port, always select [Disconnect] as shown in step 5. Follow the instructions displayed to terminate the connection. The connection will not be terminated if you simply turn off the camera and GPS device.

WFT Utility (Software) You can configure the wireless or wired LAN settings by using the software provided with the camera, WFT Utility. This is convenient if you want to create a wireless or wired LAN settings file when the camera and transmitter are not nearby. WFT Utility also enables you to create captions for attachment to images before transfer via FTP. Start WFT Utility from EOS Utility. Starting WFT Utility In EOS Utility, access [Accessories] to start WFT Utility.
WFT Utility (Software) Setting the Wireless LAN Channel When setting the wireless LAN channel on the [Wireless LAN settings] tab, first select [WFT-E2] or [WFT-E2A]. The WFT-E2 supports 13 channels, and the WFT-E2A, 11 channels. Keep in mind that the WFT-E2A cannot be used on channels 12 and 13 as the [WFT-E2] can. Wireless or Wired LAN Settings Files Settings files can be used as follows. Open Open a settings file saved on the computer or a memory card.
Creating and Registering Captions Follow these steps to create captions and register them on the camera, as introduced in “Adding a Caption Before Transfer” (p.25). When creating and registering captions, use a computer on which EOS Utility is installed. Before you begin, attach the transmitter to the camera and use the USB cable provided with the camera to connect the camera to the computer.
