Viewing Transferred Images

Images transferred to the FTP server are stored in the following folder as specified in the FTP server settings.

Windows

  • Under the default settings of the FTP server, images are stored in [C drive] → [Inetpub] folder → [ftproot] folder, or in a subfolder of this folder.
  • If the root folder of the transfer destination has been changed in the FTP server settings, ask the FTP server administrator where images are transferred.

Macintosh

- Open the [Macintosh HD] → [Users] folder. The folder where images are stored is located in the folder of the user currently logged on, or in a subfolder there.

Folders for Image Storage

Under the default transmitter settings, transferred images will be stored in the root folder specified in the FTP server settings, in a folder structure such as A/DCIM/100EOS5D which is automatically created.

Additionally, if you have selected a CF card as the media for recording and playback, a folder structure such as "A/DCIM/100EOS5D" is automatically created for image storage. For external media, "C/DCIM/100EOS5D" is created. (CF card images are assigned to the A folder, and external media images to the C folder.)

Linked Shooting

With linked shooting, up to 10 slave cameras can be linked in a wireless network (via IEEE 802.11g in ad hoc mode) to the master camera on which you will release the shutter. Any cameras compatible with linked shooting, when they have WFT series transmitters attached, can be used as slave cameras, regardless of model.

Note that there will be a slight delay after you release the master camera shutter before the slave cameras shoot. Movie shooting is not supported.

IP Security (IPsec)

Configured in [TCP/IP] → [Security].

IPsec is a set of standards for encrypted communication over the Internet. It provides effective security for both wireless and wired LANs. To use this function, you must enable IPsec in the network settings of your computer. When IPsec is employed, only transport mode is supported, and DES encryption and SHA1 authentication are used. Note that the IP address of the computer for communication with the transmitter must be entered in [Destination address] on the settings screen.

Directory Structure of the Target Folder

Configured in [FTP server] → [Directory structure].

Selecting [Camera] automatically creates a folder structure matching that of the camera's (such as A/DCIM/100EOS5D) in the server's root folder for image storage. If you have created a subfolder in the root folder by changing the [Target folder] setting, a folder structure such as A/DCIM/100EOS5D is automatically created in that folder for image storage.

Selecting [Default] will use the root folder for image storage. If you have created a subfolder in the root folder by changing the [Target folder] setting, images are saved in that folder.

Overwriting Files of the Same Name

Configured in [FTP server] → [Overwrite same file].

When the transmitter is configured to prevent overwriting

If there is already a file of the same name in the target folder on the FTP server, the new file is saved with an extension consisting of an underline and a number, as in IMG_0003_1.JPG.

When you resend images if initial transfer fails

Even if the transmitter is configured to overwrite files of the same name, if you resend an image file that could not be transferred initially, the existing file may not be overwritten in some cases. If this happens, the new file is saved with an extension consisting of an underline, a letter, and a number, as in IMG_0003_a1.JPG.

Passive Mode

Configured in [FTP server] → [Passive mode].

Enable this setting in network environments protected by a firewall. If an Error 41 occurs ("Cannot connect to FTP server"), setting passive mode to [Enable] may enable access to the FTP server.

If the transmission rate over a wireless LAN drops because of interference from the following electronic devices, switching to a wired LAN can resolve the problem.

  • The transmitter communicates over wireless LANs via IEEE 802.11b/g and Bluetooth using radio waves in the 2.4 GHz band. For this reason, the wireless LAN transmission rate may drop if there are nearby microwave ovens, cordless telephones, microphones, or similar devices operating on the same frequency band.
  • If a wireless LAN terminal on the same frequency band as the transmitter is used nearby, the transmission rate of the wireless LAN may drop.

Using Multiple Transmitters

  • If multiple transmitters are connected to a single wireless LAN terminal, be careful not to use duplicate camera IP addresses.
  • Note that the transmission rate drops when multiple transmitters access a single wireless LAN terminal.
  • To reduce radio wave interference when there are multiple wireless IEEE 802.11b/g devices, leave a gap of four channels between each wireless LAN channel. For example, use channels 1, 6, and 11, channels 2, 7, and 12, or channels 3, 8, and 13. When IEEE 802.11a can be used, switch to IEEE 802.11a and specify a different channel.

Security

- Wireless LAN radio waves can be easily intercepted. For this reason, we recommend activating encrypted communication in the wireless LAN terminal settings.

FCC / IC Notice

Model DS585812/DS585814 (including WLAN Module Model CH9-1161, FCC ID is 161)

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and RSS-Gen of IC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of this device.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

  • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
  • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
  • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
  • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

The cable with the ferrite core provided with the digital camera must be used with this equipment in order to comply with Class B limits in Subpart B of Part 15 of the FCC rules.

Do not make any changes or modifications to the equipment unless otherwise specified in the manual. If such changes or modifications should be made, you could be required to stop operation of the equipment.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. DS585782/DS585784 has been tested and found to comply with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.
