The Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E2A is a speedier, handier and more flexible evolution
of the WFT-E1A. Three communication modes are available: FTP, PTP and HTTP.
(Transmission of select images is now possible with the SET button.) It supports IEEE
802.11 b/g and 100 BASE-TX LANs, both wired and wireless. Image transmission is 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.
The WFT-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 (including
some Garmin and Magellan products—details to be advised).
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-E2A
features easier setting than WFT-E1A.
Because it is a wireless LAN apparatus, the same as the WFT-E1A, the WFT-E2A can be
used only in the countries and regions where Canon has acquired relevant licenses.
Photographers must obey local regulations where the equipment is used, not purchased.
