Direct Image Transfer

Accessories

The EOS 30D is the first EOS camera to incorporate direct image transfer to a computer.
New to the EOS line are camera-side controls similar to those used on PowerShot cameras.
To perform this task, an EOS 30D, a Windows or Macintosh computer with the EOS Digital
Solution Disk Ver.12 installed, and the USB Interface Cable IFC-400PCU are required.
The transmission protocol is PTP, so select [Print/PC] from the [Communication] menu.
With the [Transfer order] menu item, one can specify images (JPEG or RAW) to send to a
computer. (If the images were shot in RAW+JPEG mode, both RAW and JPEG will be sent,
except in the case of the wallpaper option, in which case only the JPEG will be sent.)
Images are transferred to the computer when the SET button or the Print/Share button
is pressed. The options are:
• All Images- All the images on the CF card will be transferred.
• New Images- Images not yet transferred are automatically selected and transferred.
• DPOF Transfer Images- Images selected with the [Transfer order] menu item are transferred.
• Select & Transfer- The image is selected individually and transferred.
• Wallpaper- The image is transferred as wallpaper for the personal computer. The
image is resized automatically to match the computer screen. The wallpaper will then
appear on the computer screen immediately. Note that the image displayed as wall-
paper might have a different horizontal/vertical aspect ratio from the original image.
The transferred images will be organized in folders by date. They will be stored in the
[My Pictures] folder (Windows), or [Pictures] folder (Mac).
When the direct image transfer screen is displayed, the Print/Share button lights in
blue during which it functions as a SET button. However, if All Images, New Images, or
Select & Transfer has been set, pressing the Print/Share button will start the transfer
immediately. One need not select [OK] on the confirmation screen.
The EOS 30D uses the same accessories as the EOS 20D, as well as, of course, virtually
the entire Canon EOS System. The BG-E2 Battery Grip produces 10% more available
shots in combination with the EOS 30D than it does with the EOS 20D. The BG-E2 uses
up to two BP-511/511A/512/514 battery packs. The optional Battery Magazine BGM-E2
allows the use of six AA-size alkaline or Ni-MH cells instead. The grip has vertical camera
operation controls which make vertical shooting easy and comfortable.
The semi-hard case is the same item used with the EOS 20D, the EH-17L.
It accommodates the following lenses when mounted on the EOS 30D:
EF-S 17–85mm f/4.0–5.6 IS USM, EF 24–85mm f/3.5–4.5 USM and
EF 28–105mm f/3.5–4.5 II USM. The Wide Strap EW-100DGR is also
the same strap used on the EOS 20D.
The Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E1A is a useful accessory for
fields in which real time image transfer is needed, such as studio
