WIRELESS TRANSMITTER CANON WFT-E8 B

Extend the potential of your EOS-1D X Mark II with the enhanced connectivity provided by the WFT-E8 wireless transmitter. Compatible with the IEEE 802.11ac standard, the WFT-E8 offers high-speed wireless LAN transmission, advanced FTP transfer and remote shooting options, and additional functions to make the most of your EOS-1D X Mark II .

Highlights

• Faster data transfer: compatible with IEEE 802.11ac standard
• Secure file transfer protocol via FTP/FTPS
• Shooting via WFT server for video recording and remote shooting
• Remote shooting via smartphone/tablet with the Canon Camera Connect application
• Synchronization of up to10 cameras with a maximum range of 100 m for remote shooting

Wireless image transfer

Thanks to the new IEEE 802.11ac standard (5 GHz band), the WFT-E8 lets you transfer data at high speed up to 150 m away. The IEEE 802.11ac standard supports faster communications (approx. 2.5 times faster in real-life conditions) than the previous IEEE 802.11n standard integrated into the WFT-E6, with a theoretical speed of approx. 1300 Mbit/s compared with 450 Mbit/s previously with IEEE 802.11n.

Remote shooting from a computer

Photographers can securely connect to a remote FTP server via FTPS (File Transfer Protocol via SSL/TLS) to take and send photos in real time. This reduces the time spent retrieving, filing and uploading photos to a server.

WFT server

You can take and view photos and videos remotely, thanks to the WFT server option integrated into the WFT-E8. A new version of HTTP mode, the WFT server gives you total control over your EOS-1D X Mark II's settings, such as focus, on-screen viewing, video playback and RAW image consultation. This means you can view what the camera is displaying and remotely adjust settings from a computer, smartphone or tablet.

Canon Camera Connect application

If you don't have the camera in your hand (for example, when it's positioned behind the goalkeeper's cage or above the basketball hoop), use the Canon Camera Connect app to connect to a smartphone or tablet and perform multiple operations remotely: shooting, viewing, rating, transferring and sharing photos. Via Camera Connect, you can also record and transfer Full HD videos in MP4 format.

Synchronized shooting

From a single master camera, you can synchronize up to 10 slave cameras with WFT-E8 or WFT-E7 transmitters to synchronize shooting over a maximum range of 100 meters. Use the camera time synchronization function to harmonize the times of different cameras so that the timecode of a sequence is always accurate.
