Using the transmitter’s LAN functions enables you to do the following: FTP Transfer (p.31) Transfer images to an FTP server EOS Utility (p.
Conventions Used in this Manual To comply with local radio wave regulations, Canon offers five region-specific versions of the transmitter (A, B, C, D, and E) in various areas around the world (see separate sheet). For convenience, the product in this manual is referred to as “WFT-E7 (Ver.2)”, without reference to the versions A, B, C, D, or E. In this manual, the term “access point” indicates wireless LAN access points, wireless LAN routers, etc. that relay a LAN connection.
Conventions Used in this Manual Basic Assumptions All operations explained in this manual assume that the power switch is set to <1>. It is assumed that all the menu settings, Custom Functions, etc. are set to their defaults. Image transfer, remote shooting, or image viewing requires adequate knowledge of configuring your LAN and FTP server. Canon cannot provide support for configuring LANs or FTP servers.

Attaching to the Camera Before disconnecting the cable, turn off both the transmitter and camera. If you turn on/off the transmitter or connect/disconnect the interface cable during movie shooting, movie shooting will stop. If wireless functions are in use, noise may be recorded regardless of the use of the built-in microphone(s) or an external microphone. It is recommended that you do not use wireless functions when shooting movies.
1 Basic Network Settings Complete the basic network settings by using the menu screen on the camera’s monitor.
Preparation [FTP trans.] You can transfer captured images to an FTP server. Images can be automatically transferred as you shoot them, or you can select images to be transferred later. Computer Operating Systems Use of [FTP trans.] requires that one of the following operating systems be installed on a computer. In addition, the computer must be set up as an FTP server in advance. • Windows 10 • Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro, Windows 8.1, Windows 8.
Preparation [EOSUtility] You can perform remote shooting over a LAN using EOS Utility (EOS software). In addition to remote shooting, almost all EOS Utility camera operations are supported, because this option utilizes a LAN instead of an interface cable. Requires a computer with EOS Utility (EOS software) installed. Connecting Using an Access Point When connecting using an access point, connect the target device to the access point in advance.
Displaying the Connection Wizard This section describes the process following the connection instructions. If an error is displayed, see “Troubleshooting Guide” in Chapter 6 (p.69) and check the settings. Pressing the shutter button or other camera controls during configuration using the connection instructions will close the connection instructions. Do not press the shutter button or other controls until configuration is finished. 1 Turn on the transmitter. 2 Select [55: WFT settings].

Checking the Type of Access Point To connect using an access point, check if the access point supports WPS* that allows easy connection between Wi-Fi devices. If you do not know if the access point you use is WPS-compatible, refer to the access point instruction manual or other documentation. * Wi-Fi Protected Setup When WPS is supported The following two connection methods are available. Connection can be established easier with WPS (PBC mode).
Connecting via WPS (PBC Mode) The instructions in this chapter are continued from page 22. This is a connection mode available when using an access point compatible with WPS. In pushbutton connection mode (PBC mode), the camera and the access point can be connected simply by pressing the WPS button on the access point. If multiple access points are active in the surrounding area, it may be more difficult to establish a connection. In such a case, try using [WPS (PIN mode)] to establish a connection.
Connecting via WPS (PIN Mode) The instructions in this chapter are continued from page 22. This is a connection mode available when using an access point compatible with WPS. In PIN code connection mode (PIN mode), an 8digit identification number specified on the camera is set at the access point to establish a connection. Even if there are multiple access points active in the surrounding area, a relatively reliable connection can be established using this shared identification number.
Connecting via WPS (PIN Mode) to the access point. 4 Connect Select [OK] and press <0> to establish a connection with the access point. When a connection with the access point is established, the [IP address set.] screen (p.29) is displayed.
