Canon is making image reviewing easier than ever with its new Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E9A, announced at CES 2020 this week. With quick image communication speeds and a versatile interface, Canon photographers can easily review their image files in real-time.

The Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E9A, available for preorder now, is compatible with Canon’s new EOS-1DX Mark III camera. When used in tandem, this powerful Canon setup will improve image accuracy and deliver top-notch results. Here’s what to expect with the new WFT-E9A:

Canon Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E9A:

The speedy Canon WFT-E9A pairs with the new EOS-1DX Mark III camera for a seamless image-review process that helps you triple check everything from color correctness to focus precision in real-time.

Beyond speed, the Canon Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E9A offers an enhanced user interface to help photographers customize even the most complex wireless configurations. A compact, durable, and lightweight body also guarantees the Canon Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E9A will last on the go.

Key Features:

  • Designed for the new EOS-1DX Mark III camera
  • Supports Wireless LAN IEEE 802.11ac 2X2 MIMO/ac/a/n/g/b for fast and secure connections
  • High-speed image transfer can use both 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz
  • Transfers images using FTP transfer, EOS utility, or Browser Remote application
  • Enhanced interface lets photographers create wireless configurations of diverse complexity levels
  • Lightweight, durable, and compact with a 1.59-ounce body sealed for dust and water resistance

Real-Time Review is Quick and Efficient:

Quick image reviews are essential for photojournalists, wire photographers, and event photographers. With the WFT-E9A, you can run through images with clients or editors in real-time, without the painstakingly long upload and download speeds that come with manually transferring images via USBs or SD cards. The WFT-E9A will speed up client or editor review time, guaranteeing those photos get out over the wire, onto social media, or into the hands of the client’s target audience as quickly as possible.  

Improves Image Accuracy and Quality:

A tiny LCD screen only shows so much. That’s why professional photographers review details like focus and color on a larger screen whenever possible — which is where the Canon Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E9A comes into play. This tiny, portable gadget makes image review quick, easy, and accurate, helping you avoid those “uh-oh” moments in post.
