Canon Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E4II B
For the Canon EOS 5DMKII
The Canon WFT-E4 II B Wireless File Transmitter for several cameras in the EOS range allows you to either send files wirelessly or control your camera from the comfort of your computer all without using wires! Aimed mainly at studio and news photographers, the WFT units can be used to get large previews back on a computer to wire images to a picture desk almost as soon as they're taken.
The WFT-E4 unit offers multi-protocol control and convenient USB hosting in a compact package. The unit allows you to connect to both wireless and wired LAN networks with full support for FTP, HTTP and PTP. A connection wizard makes setting up a Wi-Fi connection quicker and easier than before and allows WPA-PSK authentication and TKIP encryption to ensure secure data transfer.
To retain the weather sealing of the cameras, the unit features a built-in antenna. This unit is perfect for commercial studios, sports and wedding photographers. At a wedding you can remain mobile, free from the clutter of cables. Images can be transmitted immediately back to a base-station where an assistant can select and edit them on location and present a slide show in time for the wedding reception.
For sports and news photographers, images can be transferred directly to the picture desk, using HTTP mode, for review by the picture editor in almost real-time. For the busy commercial studio, having images available to view by the client or art director while the shoot is going on can save time. The art director could potentially give meaningful direction from anywhere in the world. Alternatively, it can be used in less pressured environments to get images onto a larger screen where they can be checked for lighting and focus issues.
If you want to geo-tag your images so they can be located on a map, you will also need one of these units as it provides the connection to allow the latitude and longitude information to be embedded within the EXIF data of each image you take.

Features
Transfer images securely
Transferring images from the camera to a PC, external hard drive or FTP server is made simpler and more secure. The WFT-E4 II B supports high security WPA2-PSK authentication and AES encryption over wireless networks. IPsec encryption is also used as standard in both wired and wireless networks to ensure that every photographer's personal IP is protected.
Remote control shooting
The WFT-E4 II B allows photographers to communicate with their camera remotely using a number of different methods. This is a major benefit for studio photographers who need to fine tune manual settings and shoot images for instant review on a large screen or sports photographers who may use more complex, multi-camera installations to get the shots they need.
Connectivity
The WFT-E4 II B offers Wi-Fi Protected Set-up (WPS) - or alternatively an easy-to-follow wizard - taking photographers through a simple step-by-step process to connect the camera to any available network in range. The WFT-E4 II B complies with 802.11b and g standards, as well as the more stable 802.11a wireless standard used at many large sporting events like the Olympic Games. It also features an integrated Ethernet LAN port for high-speed wired connectivity.
