Wireless File TransmitterWFT-E3WFT-E3AEINSTRUCTION MANUALThis product is offered in two versions, WFT-E3 and WFT-E3A. Each version operates on a different number of wireless LAN channels. The WFT-E3 can transmit on 13 channels, and the WFT-E3A, 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-E3 and WFT-E3A are identical. They are operated in the same way. This instruction manual describes operation using the WFT-E3 as an example.
2Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.The Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E3 is an accessory for EOS 40D cameras. It gives the camera wireless and wired LAN functionality and adds a USB port, enabling the following operations. The WFT-E3 is compatible with IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g wireless LANs as well as 100 Base-TX Ethernet wired LANs.It also includes a vertical-grip shutter button for convenience in vertical shooting.Wireless and Wired LAN FunctionsFunctions When Connected via USBFTPPTPExternal Media GPSHTTPTransfer images to an FTP server Use a web browser to capture, view, and download images remotelyUse EOS Utility to capture, view, and download images remotelyRecord or backup images onto external media Add the latitude, longitude, altitude, date andtime, and other shooting information to images

7IntroductionThe 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.Safety WarningsWarning Preventing Serious Injury or DeathCaution Preventing Injury or Equipment DamageHandling Precautions

36Images 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/100CANON 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/100CANON” is automatically created for image storage. For external media, “C/DCIM/100CANON” is created. (CF card images are assigned to the A folder, and external media images to the C folder.)
