Canon WFT-E4A Drains Camera Battery

Setting up the WFT-E4A on my own was a little tricky, but Canon technical support came to the rescue. They were very helpful. The transfer system that worked best for me was PTP. After playing with the software for a while I got some good results. The very brief documentation was not very helpful. There is one problem that I believe Canon needs to address. If you leave your camera on with the transmitter attached your battery gets drained in a few hours even when not in use. This happened more than once. Although the transmitter has an it's own battery the camera battery will drain the fastest. Overall I like the WFT-E4A over the WFT-E1 which gave inconsistant results and required an FTP. However, Canon should address the battery problem and improve the documentation.

About Canon WFT-E4A Wireless File Transmitter f/EOS5D MarkII

The Wireless File Transmitter was designed for use with the EOS 5D Mark II Digital SLR. It is compatible with Wi-Fi Protected Setup connecting easily to a wireless LAN access point to secure image transfer.

Sending a batch of photos wirelessly is made simple with the WFT-E4A because images can be stored in selected folders and the entire folder can be then transferred all at once.

The WFT-E4A retains the same features as the WFT-E3A including great handling for vertical shooting and wireless transmission (802.11b or g) to both Macintosh or Windows computers for distances as far as 492 ft. (150m).
