Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E2 WFT-E2A Y C P O 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 and EOS-1Ds 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.

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.
