Areas of Use and Restrictions
The following actions may be punishable under law. Disassembling or modifying the
transmitter, or removing the certification label on it.
Do not use the transmitter near other devices that emit radio waves, such as medical
equipment or electronic devices. The transmitter may interfere with operation of these
devices.
Use the transmitter only with a compatible EOS DIGITAL camera. Using it with incompatible
cameras may cause malfunction, accidents, and other problems not covered under
warranty.
Use the transmitter as a wireless or wired LAN device as described in this instruction
manual. If you use the transmitter for any other purpose, Canon cannot be held liable for
any loss or damage that may occur.
10
The following precautions are intended to prevent harm to you and others as well as damage to
equipment. Become familiar with the precautions before using the transmitter to ensure correct
and safe operation.
Be sure that you fully understand the safety precautions contained in the instruction manuals
for the battery, charger, and AC Adapter Kit before using them.
To prevent fire, excessive heat, chemical leakage, or explosion, follow these safety guidelines.
• Do not insert metallic objects between electrical contacts of the transmitter, accessories, or connecting cables.
Do not use the transmitter where there is flammable gas. There is a risk of explosion or fire.
If the transmitter is dropped and internal parts are exposed, do not touch the exposed parts. There is a risk of
electrical shock.
Do not disassemble or modify the transmitter. High-voltage internal parts may cause electrical shock.
Do not store the transmitter in dusty or humid places. There is a risk of fire or electrical shock.
Before using the transmitter on board airplanes or in hospitals, make sure use is permitted. Electromagnetic
waves emitted by the transmitter may interfere with instrumentation or medical equipment.
Do not leave the transmitter inside a vehicle in hot weather or near a heat source. The transmitter may become
hot and cause burns if touched.
Do not cover or wrap the transmitter with a cloth. This may trap heat inside, posing a risk of case deformation or
fire.
Do not use paint thinner, benzene, or other organic solvents to clean the transmitter. This poses a risk of fire and
may be hazardous to your health.
If the product malfunctions, becomes damaged, or requires repair, contact your dealer
or the nearest Canon Service Center.
The transmitter is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to shock.
The transmitter is not waterproof. Do not use it underwater.
Wipe off any moisture with a clean, dry cloth. If the transmitter has been exposed to salty air,
wipe it with a clean damp cloth after wringing it out to remove excess water.
Never leave the transmitter near any equipment that generates a strong magnetic field,
such as magnets or electric motors.
Do not leave the transmitter in excessive heat, such as in a vehicle in direct sunlight. High
temperature may damage the transmitter.
Do not wipe the transmitter using cleaners containing organic solvents. If the transmitter
becomes difficult to clean, take it to the nearest Canon Service Center.
To avoid corrosion, do not store the transmitter where there are strong chemicals, such as in
darkrooms or chemical labs.

The connection instructions help you follow the steps to connect the transmitter to an existing
wireless or wired LAN.
To connect to a wireless LAN, prepare the wireless LAN terminal (wireless LAN access point or
wireless LAN adapter) and computer in advance so that they are ready for you to connect the
transmitter to the wireless network. When configuring the basic network settings, bring the
transmitter within 3 m / 9.8 ft. of the wireless LAN terminal.
To connect to a wired LAN, use a LAN cable to connect the transmitter and computer. Set the
transmitter for connection to the wired network.
Wireless Transmission of Movie
Individual movie files are large, and wireless file transmission takes some time. When setting
up an environment for stable transmission to the wireless LAN terminal, refer to the information
on page 114.
Set up a DLNA*-compatible television, digital photo frame, or similar media player so that it is
ready for use after the transmitter is connected to its network.
* DLNA: Digital Living Network Alliance
Set up two or more EOS 7D cameras with attached transmitters.

This is a connection mode when using 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.
Confirm 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. Deactivate stealth functions.

This is a connection mode when using 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. Deactivate stealth functions.
1Select [WPS (PIN mode)].
Turn the <5> dial to select [WPS (PIN mode)],

An image can be automatically transferred to the FTP server immediately after shooting. You
can also continue shooting even while images are being transferred.
Before shooting, be sure to insert a CF card in the camera or connect external media (p.79). If
you shoot without recording images, they cannot be transferred.
Note that automatic transfer of movie is not supported. Transfer the movie after shooting, as
described on pages 39-43.

captured.
The captured images are also stored on the CF card.
Any images for which transfer fails or is interrupted can transferred later together.

[Smaller JPEG].
If the camera is set up to record RAW images on a CF card and JPEGs on external media,
specify which images to transfer in the [RAW+JPEG transfer] setting. Similarly, complete
the same setting if RAW+JPEG images are recorded simultaneously on a single CF card.

Images transferred to the FTP server are stored in the following folder as specified in the FTP
server settings.
Under the default settings of the FTP server, images are stored in [C drive] [Inetpub]
folder [ftproot] folder, or in a subfolder of this folder.
If the root folder of the transfer destination has been changed in the FTP server settings, ask
the FTP server administrator where images are transferred.
Open the [Macintosh HD] [Users] folder. The folder where images are stored is located
in the folder of the user currently logged on, or in a subfolder there.
Under the default transmitter settings, transferred images will be stored in the root folder
specified in the FTP server settings, in a folder structure such as A/DCIM/100EOS7D which is
automatically created.
Additionally, if you have selected a CF card as the media for recording and playback, a folder
structure such as “A/DCIM/100EOS7D” is automatically created for image storage. For external
media, “C/DCIM/100EOS7D” is created. (CF card images are assigned to the A folder, and
external media images to the C folder.)
