In addition to supporting the EOS-1D Mark III Digital SLR's Remote Live View functions, it can also be connected to various Hi-Speed USB 2.0 external storage devices such as high-capacity hard drives or convenient flash drives with much larger storage capacity than the memory cards in the camera, for instant backup as images are captured. Whats more, the WFT-E2/E2A can be connected to portable GPS devices to record GPS information (longitude, latitude, altitude, UTC) which is added to file metadata and displayed on the camera's LCD screen below the histogram.
Dedicated Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E2/E2A Key Features:
Versatile
The Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E2/E2A is a speedier, handier and more flexible evolution of the WFT-E1/E1A.
Three Communication Modes
FTP, PTP and HTTP.
Wired and Wireless Networking
It supports IEEE 802.11 b/g and 100 BASE-TX LANs, both wired and wireless. Image transmissionis faster than with the previous unit. Its dust- and water- resistance performance is about the same,despite the addition of an extra port. Wireless transmission incorporates a security function.
USB 2.0
The WFT-E2/E2A is equipped with a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed host interface so that it can be connected to an external medium (such as a USB flash drive, a self-powered portable HDD or a photo storage device) to store images, or, very usefully, to a GPS receiver.
Picture Selection
Transmission of select images is now possible with the SET button.
Embedded Antenna & Camera Powered
The new unit is dedicated to the EOS-1D Mark III and gets its power from the camera and the antenna is embedded. The result is a decrease in weight from 165g to 75g and a similar decrease in size. There is an improved connection wizard and the WFT-E2/E2A features easier setting than WFT-E1/E1A.
