Conventions Used in this Manual

In this manual, the term “access point” indicates wireless LAN access points, wireless LAN routers, etc. that relay a LAN connection.

These instructions should be followed only after setting up your LAN

and FTP server environments. For information about setting up the environments, refer to the documentation provided with each device or contact the manufacturer.

Read the Camera Instruction Manual and familiarize yourself with

operating the camera before following the instructions on camera options.

Icons in this Manual

<6> : Indicates the Main Dial. <5> : Indicates the Quick Control Dial. <9> : Indicates the Multi-controller. <0> : Indicates the Setting button.

* In addition to the above, the icons and symbols used on the camera’s buttons

and displayed on the LCD monitor are also used in this manual when discussing relevant operations and functionality.

(p.**) : Reference page numbers for more information.

: Warnings to prevent potential problems during operation.

: Supplemental information.

Basic Assumptions

All operations explained in this manual assume that the power

switch is set to <1>.

It is assumed that all the menu settings, Custom Functions, etc. are

set to their defaults.

Image transfer, remote shooting, or viewing images requires adequate

knowledge of configuring your wired LAN and FTP server. Canon cannot provide support for configuring wired LANs or FTP servers.

Note that Canon cannot be held liable for any loss or damage to the

camera from erroneous network or FTP server settings. In addition, Canon cannot be held liable for any other loss or damage caused by use of the camera.

When using wired LAN functions, establish appropriate security at your

own risk and discretion. Canon cannot be held liable for any loss or damage caused by unauthorized access or other security breaches.

Basic Network Settings

Complete the basic network settings by using the menu screen on the camera’s LCD monitor.

LAN Cable Connection

Connecting a LAN Cable

Open the Ethernet RJ-45 terminal

cover, then connect the camera to a computer, access point, etc. with a LAN cable.

LAN Cable

Use a highly shielded Category 5e or higher STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) Gigabit Ethernet cable.

Connection Types

The connection types shown below are available for connecting the camera to a computer, smartphone, etc. over a LAN.

LAN cable

Wireless

LAN cable

Access point or router

LAN cable

Preparation

The connection instructions help you connect the camera to a network that is already set up. Connect a device such as a computer or smartphone to the network in advance so that you can connect it to the camera.

[FTP trans.]

You can transfer captured images to an FTP server. Images can be automatically transferred as you shoot them, or you can select images to be transferred later.

Computer Operating Systems

Use of [FTP trans.] requires that one of the following operating systems be installed on a computer. In addition, the computer must be set up as an FTP server in advance.

• Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro, Windows 8.1, Windows 8.1 Pro

• Windows 7 (Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate Edition for 32- or 64-bit systems)

• Windows Vista (Business, Enterprise, or Ultimate Edition for 32- or 64-bit systems)

For instructions on setting up a computer as an FTP server, refer to the documentation provided with each device or contact the manufacturer.

Note that the following operating systems cannot be used because FTP server functionality is not provided.

• Windows 7 Home Premium

• Windows Vista Home Premium or Home Basic Edition

Preparation

[EOSUtility]

You can perform remote shooting over a wired LAN using EOS Utility (EOS software). In addition to remote shooting, almost all EOS Utility camera operations are supported, because this option utilizes a wired LAN instead of an interface cable.

Requires a computer with EOS Utility (EOS software) installed.

[WFTserver]

You can perform advanced remote shooting or view images stored in the camera by connecting to the camera from a web browser on a computer, smartphone, or other device, as easily as accessing a website.

Browsers

The following operating systems and web browsers have been confirmed to be compatible with this camera. Depending on your environment, operation may differ.

Windows 8.1, Windows 7: Google Chrome Ver. 44 Windows 8.1, Windows 7: Internet Explorer 11 OS X (operating system version 10.10): Safari Ver. 8.0 iOS (operating system version 8.4): Safari Android (operating system version 4.4): Google Chrome

* Operation on the above operating systems and web browsers cannot be

guaranteed for all the terminals. * Not available unless the web browser is set to allow cookies. * Not available unless the web browser is set to use JavaScript. * Movies cannot be played back unless the web browser supports HTML 5.

Preparation

[Smartphone]

You can perform basic remote shooting or view images stored in the camera on a smartphone or tablet. To use this function, the camera must be connected to an access point over a wired LAN. In addition, the dedicated application Camera Connect (free of charge) must be installed on a smartphone on which iOS or Android is installed.

• Camera Connect can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play.

• For the operating system versions supported by Camera Connect, refer to the download site of Camera Connect.

• The interface and functionality of the camera and Camera Connect are subject to change due to firmware updates for the camera or application updates for Camera Connect, iOS, Android, etc. In such a case, features of the camera or Camera Connect may differ from sample screens or operation instructions in this manual.

In this manual and on the camera’s LCD monitor, “smartphone” refers to smartphones and tablets.

[Sync time between cameras]

You can set the master camera time on up to 10 slave cameras. Note that even after synchronization, there will be a slight margin of error between master and slave camera time of ±0.05 seconds, at most. Set up multiple cameras of the same camera model.

Select [Transfer type/size].

Select the size and type of images

to transfer.

To transfer smaller JPEGs when the camera is set up to record

larger JPEGs to either a CF card or CFast card and smaller JPEGs to the other, set [JPEG size to trans.] to [SmallerJPEG].
