Wireless File Transmitter
WFT-E3
WFT-E3A
This 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.

Safety Warnings
Warning Preventing Serious Injury or Death
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.
Caution Preventing Injury or Equipment Damage
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.
Handling Precautions
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.
Introduction
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.

guidance.
Getting Ready
The connection wizard helps 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 device (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 device.
To connect to a wired LAN, use a LAN cable to connect the transmitter and computer.
Prepare the transmitter for connection to the wired network.

Viewing Transferred Images
Images transferred to the FTP server are stored in the following folder as specified in the FTP
server settings.
Windows
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.
Macintosh
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.
Folders for Image Storage
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.)

PTP Settings and
Remote Capture
You can use EOS Utility to shoot remotely over a wireless or wired LAN.
In addition to remote capture, all camera operations in EOS Utility are
supported because a wireless or wired network is used with this option
instead of the USB cable.
37
Configuring PTP Transfer Settings
These instructions are continued from Chapter 1.
You can use the included WFT Pairing Software to enable the transmitter to communicate with
a computer via PTP.
WFT Pairing Software is installed automatically during easy installation of the software
provided with the camera. If it is not installed, install it on the computer for communication with
the transmitter before this procedure.
The configuration procedure is as follows, using Windows XP as an example.
First, the pairing screen is displayed.
Turn the <5> dial to select [OK]. When you press
<0>, the following message is displayed. Here,
****** represents the last six digits of the MAC
address of the WFT-E3 for the connection.
Start the pairing software.
Normally, it is installed in the same location as
EOS Utility.
X After the pairing software starts up, an icon is
displayed in the task bar.
X When the camera is detected, a message is
displayed.
38
Configuring PTP Transfer Settings
Double-click the pairing software icon.
X Detected cameras are listed. Cameras that have
already been connected are not included in the
list.
When the camera detects the computer on which
you clicked [Connect] in step 3, the message at
left is displayed.
Turn the <5> dial to select [OK], and then press
<0>.
Press <0>. Turn the <5> dial to select the set
number, and then press <0>.
After you turn the <5> dial to select [OK] and
press <0>, the connection wizard is closed and
EOS Utility starts up.
X The  lamp on the transmitter is lit in green.
Settings information is stored on the camera. It is
not stored on the transmitter.
The PTP network settings are now complete.
39
PTP Settings and Remote Capture
Click [Connect].
If multiple cameras are displayed, identify the
camera to connect to by its [MAC address] or [IP
address].
You can check the [MAC address] and [IP
address] by accessing [Confirm settings] in the
menu (p.52).
Configuring PTP Transfer Settings
There is no need to complete pairing again if you will continue using a particular camera,
transmitter, and computer together after pairing without changing the settings.
Before your next PTP session, simply turn on the camera to which the transmitter is
attached and start the pairing software. The connection between the camera and computer
will be established automatically.
You can add the pairing software to the software launched at startup of your computer. In
EOS Utility on the [Preferences]  [Basic Settings] tab, select [ Add WFT Pairing
Software to the Startup folder].
40
Using EOS Utility
For EOS Utility instructions, refer to the Software Instruction Manual (PDF). You can take full
advantage of EOS Utility via the transmitter just as via a USB connection, without restrictions.
PTP Settings and Remote Capture
In Remote Live View shooting, the rate of image transmission is slower than via USB. The motion of
moving subjects cannot be displayed smoothly.
