Canon WFT-E2 User manual

1
When using the WFT-E2/E2A (firmware ver. 2.0.0) with an EOS-1D Mark IV, you can use two
additional functions not mentioned in the original WFT-E2/E2A instruction manual. Below,
instructions for these new functions are described with reference to information in the WFT-E2/
E2A manual.
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) compatibility
The firmware enables easy access to WPS-compatible wireless LAN access points.
Choosing [Wireless LAN] in “Selecting the LAN Type” (p.14 of the manual) will display the
following screen ([Wireless LAN setup method]).
Selecting [WPS (PCB mode)] or [WPS (PIN mode)] makes it easy to access WPS-
compatible wireless LAN access points. For details, refer to “WPS Connection (PBC Mode)”
and “WPS Connection (PIN Mode)” on pages 3 and 4 below.
Note that selecting [Connect with wizard] enables you to complete the wireless LAN
settings as usual.
After the WPS connection is established, the following [Network] screen is displayed.
Subsequent instructions are continued on p.16 of the transmitter manual.
Using WFT-E2/E2A (Firmware Ver. 2.0.0) with EOS-1D Mark IV

WFT server port number can be changed
The port number used in WFT server connections can now be changed, as needed.
When completing settings in “Setting up an Account” (p.40 of the manual), selecting [Set
up] in step 1 will display the following [Set up] screen.
Selecting [WFT server settings] on this screen enables you to access [Port number] to
change the number as needed. Subsequent instructions are continued in step 3, p.40 of the
manual.
Revised identification of menu screen settings [FTP trans.],
[EOSUtility], and [WFTserver]
When the transmitter is used with the EOS-1D Mark III or EOS-1Ds Mark III, the menu
screen settings [FTP], [PTP(PC)], and [HTTP] now match the settings as identified on the
EOS-1D Mark IV ([FTP trans.], [EOSUtility], and [WFTserver], respectively). The WFT
server setting [HTTP account] is also updated to [WFT account].
These setting names were revised for clarity, to make the functions easier to understand.
When using the transmitter with an EOS-1D Mark III or EOS-1Ds Mark III, you can update
the settings identification to match the EOS-1D Mark IV settings ([FTP trans.], [EOSUtility],
[WFTserver], and [WFT account]) by updating the EOS-1D Mark III or EOS-1Ds Mark III
firmware to a version compatible with the WFT-E2 II.

This is a connection mode that can be used with a wireless LAN terminal compatible with Wi-Fi
Protected Setup (WPS). Pushbutton Connection mode (PBC mode) makes it easy to establish
a connection between the camera and the wireless LAN terminal by pressing the WPS button
on the wireless LAN terminal.
Note that if multiple wireless LAN terminals are active in your area, it may be harder to establish
a connection. In this case, try using [WPS (PIN mode)] to establish a connection.
Check the position of the WPS button on the wireless LAN terminal in advance.
It may take about one minute to establish connection.
Connection may not be possible if stealth functions are enabled on the wireless LAN
terminal. Disable stealth functions.
1Select [WPS (PBC mode)].
Turn the <5> dial to select [WPS (PBC mode)],
and then press <0>.
Select [OK] and press <0> to go to the next
screen.
2Establish a connection with the
wireless LAN terminal.
Press the WPS button on the wireless LAN
terminal. For details about where the button is
located and how long to press it, refer to the
instruction manual of the wireless LAN terminal.
Select [OK] and press <0> to establish a
connection with the wireless LAN terminal.
When the connection with the wireless LAN
terminal is established, the [Network] screen is
displayed.
WPS Connection (PBC Mode)

This is a connection mode that can be used with a wireless LAN terminal compatible with Wi-Fi
Protected Setup (WPS). In PIN code connection mode (PIN mode), an 8-digit identification
number specified on the camera is set on the wireless LAN terminal to establish a connection.
Even if there are multiple wireless LAN terminals active in your area, this is a relatively reliable
method of establishing a connection using a shared identification number.
It may take about one minute to establish connection.
Connection may not be possible if stealth functions are enabled on the wireless LAN
terminal. Disable stealth functions.
1Select [WPS (PIN mode)].
Turn the <5> dial to select [WPS (PIN mode)],
and then press <0>.
Select [OK] and press <0> to go to the next
screen.
2Specify the PIN code on the wireless
LAN terminal.
On the wireless LAN terminal, specify the 8-digit
PIN code shown on camera LCD monitor.
For instructions on setting PIN codes on the
wireless LAN terminal, refer to the instruction
manual of the wireless LAN terminal.
Select [OK] and press <0> to display the
confirmation screen.
3Establish a connection with the
wireless LAN terminal.
Select [OK] and press <0> to establish a
connection with the wireless LAN terminal.
When the connection with the wireless LAN
terminal is established, the [Network] screen is
displayed.
