Safety Warnings

The following precautions are intended to prevent harm to you and others as well as damage to equipment. Become familiar with the precautions before using the transmitter to ensure correct and safe operation.

Be sure that you fully understand the safety precautions contained in the instruction manuals for the battery, charger, and AC Adapter Kit before using them.

Warning Preventing Serious Injury or Death

To prevent fire, excessive heat, chemical leakage, or explosion, follow these safety guidelines.

• Do not insert metallic objects between electrical contacts of the transmitter, accessories, or connecting cables. Do not use the transmitter where there is flammable gas. There is a risk of explosion or fire.

If the transmitter is dropped and internal parts are exposed, do not touch the exposed parts. There is a risk of electrical shock.

Do not disassemble or modify the transmitter. High-voltage internal parts may cause electrical shock. Do not store the transmitter in dusty or humid places. There is a risk of fire or electrical shock.

Before using the transmitter on board airplanes or in hospitals, make sure use is permitted. Electromagnetic waves emitted by the transmitter may interfere with instrumentation or medical equipment.

Caution Preventing Injury or Equipment Damage

Do not leave the transmitter inside a vehicle in hot weather or near a heat source. The transmitter may become hot and cause burns if touched.

Do not cover or wrap the transmitter with a cloth. This may trap heat inside, posing a risk of case deformation or fire. COPY

Do not use paint thinner, benzene, or other organic solvents to clean the transmitter. This poses a risk of fire and may be hazardous to your health.

If the product malfunctions, becomes damaged, or requires repair, contact your dealer or the nearest Canon Service Center.

Handling Precautions

The transmitter is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to shock. The transmitter is not waterproof. Do not use it underwater.

Wipe off any moisture with a clean, dry cloth. If the transmitter has been exposed to salty air, wipe it with a clean damp cloth after wringing it out to remove excess water.

Never leave the transmitter near any equipment that generates a strong magnetic field, such as magnets or electric motors.

Do not leave the transmitter in excessive heat, such as in a vehicle in direct sunlight. High temperature may damage the transmitter.

Do not wipe the transmitter using cleaners containing organic solvents. If the transmitter becomes difficult to clean, take it to the nearest Canon Service Center.

To avoid corrosion, do not store the transmitter where there are strong chemicals, such as in darkrooms or chemical labs.

close the cover.

Do not connect or disconnect the power cord while the transmitter’s power switch is set to <ON>. Do not connect and use AC Adapter Kits ACK-E6 with both the camera and transmitter WFT-E7 simultaneously. It may cause malfunction to the nearby electronic devices. For more information, contact a Canon Service Center.

13

Attaching to the Camera
When connecting the transmitter to the camera, always use one of the interface cables included with the transmitter.
1 Turn off both the camera and transmitter.
2 Attach the transmitter’s <a> port
cap.
To keep the cable securely connected, attach the
cap to the transmitter.
3 Connect the transmitter and camera.
COPYConnect the end of the cable with the <WFT GPS> logo to the transmitter’s <a> terminal.
Connect the end of the cable with the <CAMERA>
logo to the camera’s <a> terminal.
4 Turn on both the camera and transmitter.
X The transmitter’s <3> lamp will light and <D> will be displayed on the transmitter’s LCD panel.
Using the Interface Cables
Use the 25 cm / 9.8 in. cable when the transmitter is attached to the camera tripod socket or Accessory Bracket AB-E1 (sold separately, p.115).
Use the 1.5 m / 4.9 ft. cable when the transmitter is stored in the included case and either worn over your shoulder or attached to a belt.
Before disconnecting the cable, turn off both the transmitter and camera.
If the transmitter’s <3> lamp blinks, it means that the transmitter and camera are not properly connected. Check the connection.

Getting Ready

[FTP trans.], [EOSUtility], [WFTserver]

The connection instructions help you follow the steps to connect the transmitter to an existing wireless or wired LAN.

To connect to a wireless LAN, prepare the wireless LAN terminal (wireless LAN access point or wireless LAN adapter) and computer in advance so that they are ready for you to connect the transmitter to the wireless network. When configuring the basic network settings, bring the transmitter within 3 m / 9.8 ft. of the wireless LAN terminal.

To connect to a wired LAN, use a LAN cable to connect the transmitter and computer. Set the transmitter for connection to the wired network.

Wireless transfer of movies

Individual movie files are large, and wireless file transfer takes some time. When setting up an environment for stable transmission to the wireless LAN terminal, see the information on page 111.

[MediaServ.]

Set up a DLNA*-compatible television, digital photo frame, or similar media player so that it is ready for use after the transmitterCOPYis connected to its network.

This is a connection mode when using a wireless LAN terminal compatible with Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS). Pushbutton Connection mode (PBC mode) makes it easy to establish a connection between the camera and the wireless LAN terminal by pressing the WPS button on the wireless LAN terminal.

Note that if multiple wireless LAN terminals are active in your area, it may be harder to establish a connection. In this case, try using [WPS (PIN mode)] to establish a connection.

Confirm the position of the WPS button on the wireless LAN terminal in advance. It may take about one minute to establish connection.

Connection may not be possible if stealth functions are enabled on the wireless LAN terminal. Deactivate stealth functions.

25

WPS Connections (PIN Mode)

This is a connection mode when using a wireless LAN terminal compatible with Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS). In PIN code connection mode (PIN mode), an 8-digit identification number specified on the camera is set on the wireless LAN terminal to establish a connection.

Even if there are multiple wireless LAN terminals active in your area, this is a relatively reliable method of establishing a connection using a shared identification number.

It may take about one minute to establish connection.

Connection may not be possible if stealth functions are enabled on the wireless LAN terminal. Deactivate stealth functions.
