Guide for EOS C300 Mark II Users

DIE-0478-000A

You can attach a WFT-E6 or WFT-E8 Wireless File Transmitter to the Canon Digital Cinema

Camera EOS C300 Mark II to connect the camera to a Wi-Fi network and use the camera’s

network functions. This guide will explain how to attach the wireless file transmitter to the

camera and configure it.

For specifications and additional information about the WFT-E6 or WFT-E8, refer to the

respective instruction manual. For details about how to use Browser Remote to operate the

camera, refer to the camera’s Instruction Manual.

Assumptions

The instructions in this guide assume you already have a correctly configured and working

wireless network. For details on configuring these settings, refer to the documentation

provided with the respective Wi-Fi equipment.

Setting up the wireless file transmitter and configuring the network settings requires

adequate knowledge about configuring Wi-Fi networks. Canon cannot provide support for

configuring Wi-Fi networks.

The instructions in this guide assume you are already familiar with basic camera operations,

such as accessing and changing menu settings or displaying status screens. If necessary,

refer to the camera’s Instruction Manual.

Conventions used in this guide

Warnings to avoid potential problems.

Supplemental information.

AReference page number.

“Access point” refers to a Wi-Fi network’s access point or wireless router. (Different

manufacturers may call the device by different names.)

For brevity’s sake, throughout this guide the WFT-E6 / WFT-E8 Wireless File Transmitter

will be referred to simply as the “transmitter”.

About this Guide

Network Settings

Complete the network settings using the camera’s menu screens.

After you connect the camera to a network via Wi-Fi (A7), you can use the following network

functions.

Wi-Fi functions and connection types

1Connection to a Wi-Fi network via an external access point (wireless router, etc.)

2Direct connection to one Wi-Fi-enabled device where the camera serves as the Wi-Fi access point.

Before using the network functions, you need to complete the network settings on a camera

with the transmitter attached. Once you attach the transmitter to the camera, you can check the

current network settings on the status screens (A21) and change them if necessary.

The camera can be connected to a Wi-Fi enabled device either through an access point

(Infrastructure connection) or directly (Camera Access Point connection). The connection used

will depend on the network function you want to use.

To use the Browser Remote function, the camera itself will serve as a wireless access point*.

After you connect a single Wi-Fi enabled device directly to the camera, you will be able to use

the Web browser on the device to run Browser Remote and control the camera.

* Limited only to the connection between the camera and supported Wi-Fi enabled devices. The functionality

is not the same as that of commercially available access points.

To use the Media Server function you will need an external access point (wireless router, etc.).

After you connect both the camera and the Wi-Fi enabled device to the same Wi-Fi network,

you will be able to use the Web browser on the device to wirelessly play back photos.

There are four ways to set up an access point connection in the camera.

[WPS: Button]

If your access point supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), setup will be

easy and require minimal configuring and no passwords. To check if your

access point has a WPS button and for details about how to activate the

Wi-Fi protected setup, refer to the wireless router’s instruction manual.

[WPS: PIN Code]

Even if your access point does not have a dedicated WPS button, it may support WPS using a

PIN code instead. For setup using a PIN code, you will need to know in advance how to

activate the wireless router’s WPS function. For details refer to the wireless router’s instruction

manual.

[Search for Access Points]

If your access point does not support the WPS function or you cannot activate it, you can have

the camera search for access points in the area.

Connecting to a Wi-Fi Network

Camera Access Point Connection ( mode only)

Infrastructure Connection ( mode only)

Connecting to a Wi-Fi Network

[Manual]

If the access point you want to use has stealth mode activated and it cannot be automatically

detected by the camera, you can enter all the necessary settings manually. This requires more

advanced knowledge of Wi-Fi and network settings.

Depending on the country/region of use, some restrictions on outdoor use or camera access point

connections may apply when operating the IEEE802.11a/n/ac wireless standard in the 5 GHz band.

For details see Areas of Use and Restrictions (separate leaflet supplied with the transmitter).

When the camera is set to mode, connect a Wi-Fi enabled device using a Camera

Access Point connection. Initially, basic default network settings (SSID, password, etc.) are

saved in the camera and you can use these settings to immediately connect a device to the

camera.

If you prefer to use different settings, follow the procedure below.

1Set the camera to mode and open

the [Connection Settings] submenu.

[wSystem Setup] >[Network Settings] >

[Connection Settings]

The current Camera Access Point connection

settings will be displayed on the screen. To change

the settings, press SET. To keep the current

settings, press the CANCEL button.

2To change the [SSID] (network name),

select [Input] and then press SET.

Enter the SSID (network name) the camera will

use as a Wi-Fi access point using the keyboard

screen (A10).

The network name is needed to connect the Wi-Fi

enabled device to the camera. If necessary, write it

down.

3Select the wireless connection mode

(5 GHz band or 2.4 GHz band) and then

press SET.

4Select the channel and then press SET.

Available channels will differ depending on the

wireless connection mode selected in the previous

step.

5Select the encryption method and then

press SET.

If you selected [Open/No encryption], continue

with the procedure to configure the IP address

assignment (A16). If you selected [WPA2-PSK/

AES], continue the procedure to set the password.

Camera Access Point Connection

6To change the [Encryption Key]

(password), select [Input] and then

press SET.

Enter the encryption key (password) the camera

will use as a Wi-Fi access point using the

keyboard screen.

The encryption key (password) is needed to

connect the Wi-Fi enabled device to the camera. If

necessary, write it down.

After confirming the encryption key (password),

continue with the procedure to configure the IP

address assignment (A16).

Using the Virtual Keyboard Screen

When the monitor unit is attached to the camera and the LCD screen is used, the full

keyboard screen will appear on the screen. When the monitor unit is not attached to the

camera, a simplified screen for entering text will appear on the viewfinder.

1 Use the joystick to select a character and

then press SET to add it.

• On the full keyboard: Push the joystick up/

down/left/right to select the desired

character and press SET to enter it. Use

the arrows (///) to change the

position of the cursor and the backspace

character ( ) to delete the last

character entered. You can also press the

MENU button to delete the last character.

On the simplified screen: Push the

joystick up/down or turn the SELECT dial

to select the desired character and press

SET to enter it. Press the MENU button to

delete the last character.

• If you are entering sensitive information,

like a password, the character you

entered will change to “z” after a moment

to protect the password.

• Repeat this step as necessary to enter the

desired text.

2 After entering the desired text, select [OK] in the full keyboard, or [Set] in the simplified

screen, and then press SET to close the keyboard screen.
