Canon WFT-E2A Wireless File Transmitter

Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E2A
A significant redesign of Canon's earlier wireless transmitter, the new WFT-E2A is much more compact and provides a broader range of useful professional functions. It integrates elegantly with the EOS-1Ds Mark III, is powered by the camera body, and is as durable and weather-resistant as the camera itself. Not only can the camera's files be sent to a compatible computer in three different wireless modes, but you can even remote-control the camera, wirelessly, from your computer.

The WFT-E2A can be easily set up to operate in wireless LAN (802.11b or g) environments. A new, more efficient built-in antenna enables wireless communication with host computers or access points up to 492 ft./150m)* away. Where wireless access is limited, the WFT-E2A can be used for conventional (wired) Ethernet connection.

USB 2.0 Hi-Speed host capability enables the use of external storage media, such as a USB hard drive, for memory card backup, quick copying of files, or just vastly expanded shooting capacity. Images shot on the camera can be recorded directly to the hard drive. The WFT-E2A can also communicate with various third-party GPS devices connected via USB. Location coordinates, precise Universal Time Code, and altitude can be sent to the camera and added to each image's original shooting data.
