without objects between them.
 Slave cameras can be positioned up to approx. 100 m / 656 ft. from
the master camera. However, the distance supported for linked
shooting may be shorter depending on the wireless communication
conditions, which are affected by how the cameras are positioned,
the environment of use, and weather conditions.
 Pressing the shutter button halfway on the master camera will also
put the slave cameras in the state corresponding to when their
shutter buttons are pressed halfway. Similarly, fully pressing the
shutter button on the master camera will also put the slave cameras
in the state corresponding to when their shutter buttons are fully
pressed.
 There will be a slight delay after the master camera shutter is
released before the slave camera shutters are released.
(Simultaneous shooting is not possible.)
88
Positioning the Cameras
 If focus cannot be achieved with autofocus, linked shooting is not
possible with the corresponding slave camera units.
 Do not use multiple flash units. Although slight, there is a difference in
the shutter release timing which may cause out-of-sync flash firing and
inadequate exposure.
 Linked shooting is not possible when the slave cameras are set to any
setting other than [Mirror lockup: Disable], or when the Live View
shooting/Movie shooting switch of the master or slave camera is set to
<k>.
 During linked shooting, when you press the AE lock or depth-of-field
preview button, the camera adjusts the focus and meters as if you had
pressed the shutter button halfway.
 Once you have established a connection between the master camera
and slave cameras, the settings are retained even after you replace the
batteries.
 If you will no longer use a slave camera in linked shooting, set
[Connection settings] to [Disconnect] on that slave camera.
 Any cameras compatible with linked shooting, when they have WFT
series transmitters attached, can be used as slave cameras, regardless
of model.

Troubleshooting Guide
If a problem occurs, first refer to this Troubleshooting Guide to check
the camera and connected device. If this Troubleshooting Guide does
not resolve the problem, contact the nearest Canon Service Center.
Cannot transfer images to an FTP server.
 To transfer captured images to an FTP server, set the Live View
shooting/Movie shooting switch to <A>.
When the Live View shooting/Movie shooting switch is set to
<k>, images cannot be transferred.
Cannot perform linked shooting.
 To perform linked shooting, set the Live View shooting/Movie
shooting switch to <A>.
When the Live View shooting/Movie shooting switch is set to
<k>, linked shooting is not possible.
Cannot reconnect to a smartphone.
 Even with a combination of the same camera and smartphone, if
you have changed the settings or selected a different setting,
reconnection may not be established even after selecting the same
SSID. In such a case, delete the camera connection settings from
the Wi-Fi settings on the smartphone and set up a connection
again.
 If Camera Connect is left running while setting up a connection
again, the connection may not be established. In such a case,
restart Camera Connect.
The camera and transmitter heat up and the transmission
rate drops.
 If wireless operation is used continuously in high ambient
temperatures for a prolonged period, the transmitter temperature
may rise and the transfer speed may become slow. If the
transmitter temperature further rises, an Error 83 may appear and
the wireless operation may stop (p.134).
135
Communication Function Setting Notes
If the transmission rate drops, the connection is lost, or other problems
occur when using the communication function, try the following
corrective actions.
Access Point and Antenna Installation Location
 When using the transmitter indoors, install the device in the same
room where you are shooting.
 Install the device higher than the transmitter.
 Install the device where people or objects do not come between it
and the transmitter.
 Install the device as close to the transmitter as possible. In
particular, note that during outdoor use in poor weather, rain may
absorb radio waves and disrupt the connection.
Nearby Electronic Devices
If the transmission rate of a wireless LAN drops because of the
influence of the following electronic devices, stop using them or
establish a connection further away from them. In addition, switching to
a wired LAN can resolve the problem.
 The transmitter communicates over wireless LANs via
IEEE 802.11n/g/b 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.
136
Communication Function Setting Notes
Notes for Using Multiple Wireless Transmitters
 When multiple cameras with a wireless transmitter attached are
connected to one access point, make sure that the cameras’ IP
addresses are different.
 When multiple cameras with a wireless transmitter attached are
connected to one access point, the transmission rate drops.
 When there are multiple IEEE 802.11n/g/b (2.4 GHz band) access
points, leave a gap of four channels between each wireless LAN
channel to reduce radio wave interference. For example, use
channels 1, 6, and 11, channels 2, 7, and 12, or channels 3, 8, and
13.
When IEEE 802.11ac/n/a can be used (on the 5 GHz band), switch
to IEEE 802.11ac/n/a (on the 5 GHz band) and specify a different
channel.
Security
If security settings have not been properly set, the following problems
may occur.
 Transmission monitoring
Third parties with malicious intent may monitor the wireless LAN
transmissions and attempt to acquire the data you are sending.
 Unauthorized network access
Third parties with malicious intent may gain unauthorized access to
the network you are using to steal, modify, or destroy information.
Additionally, you could fall victim to other types of unauthorized
access such as impersonation (where someone assumes an
identity to gain access to unauthorized information) or springboard
attacks (where someone gains unauthorized access to your
network as a springboard to cover their tracks when infiltrating
other systems).
To prevent these types of problems from occurring, be sure to
thoroughly secure your network.
