Wireless Shooting

Wireless Shooting to IPAD or Computer



Video Demonstration
CAPTURE:
When I capture images wirelessly, here are the steps that occur and the time frame it takes for the transfering of images:
  1. When I depress the shutter of the camera, the lights flash and while the image is being recorded to the media card in the camera, I get a preview on the back of the camera.
  2. The Canon Wireless File Transmitter WFT-E2A then sends the file wirelessly to the portable wireless router.
  3. Then the portable wireless router re-transmits the data to either my IPAD or my computer.

CANON SETTINGS:
The Canon EOS 1DS MKIII camera has 5 different settings that I can pre-configure depending on my wireless and computer choice. Here is how I have mine configured:


  • #1 setting is for shooting while using my home WIFI network to my computer.
  • #2 setting is for shooting while using my home WIFI network to my IPAD.
  • #3 setting is for shooting while shooting anywhere and using my portable WIFI Router to my IPAD.
  • #4 setting is for shooting while using my work WIFI network to my IPAD.
  • #5 setting is for shooting while using my work WIFI network to my computer.
When shooting to the IPAD, the images take approximately 2 seconds before they appear in the ShutterSnitch software.


ADVANTAGES:
  • Pre-view images by stretching them for verification of depth of field
  • Verify image sharpness
  • Confirm exposure and white balance are accurate
  • When working with art directors or H/S Seniors mothers, great way for them to preview images and then rate them with a 5 star rating through the ShutterSnitch software.
The advantages are too numerous to list. I am a firm believer in shooting wirelessly and once you have experienced it, it's hard to shoot without!
