A Powerful, Extensible
System of Photography
Top-notch Wireless
Capabilities
The new WFT-E2 II A Wireless File
Transmitter* is a compact
adapter that fits unobtrusively on
the side of the camera, providing
a wide range of networking func-
tions that expand the photogra-
pher’s shooting versatility and
efficiency. It is powered by the
camera and thus requires no
dedicated battery. The many advanced features
of the WFT-E2 II A include:
•Weather-Resistant Design – Like the EOS-1D
Mark IV, the WFT-E2 II A features a magnesium
alloy body, making it rugged and lightweight.
Moreover, its fully sealed design ensures that
the highly weather-resistant design of the cam-
era is not compromised.
•Extensive Wired and Wireless LAN Functions –
The WFT-E2 II A supports IEEE 802.11 a/b/g
wireless LAN environments. For wired connec-
tions, the adapter supports high-speed
100Base-TX communication. Built-in WPS
(Wi-Fi Protected Setup) makes it easy to make
secure LAN connections.
•Remote Live View – When combined with the
WFT-E2 II A, the Remote Live View function takes
on added power. The unit then serves as a wire-
less server, transmitting images and enabling
camera control over a LAN connection using any
browser-enabled device such as a smartphone
or a notebook computer. A handheld device, for
example, can be used as remote live image
viewer and a remote camera control, enabling
the photographer to both view the image and
release the shutter from a remote distance.
•Multiple File Transfer Options – The WFT-E2 II A
enables wired or wireless file transfer using a
wide range of standard protocols. With the FTP
mode, the computer becomes an FTP server,
enabling files to be transferred to a folder on
the computer’s hard drive. EOS Utility mode
provides two-way communication between
camera and computer, enabling not only file
transfer but also remote live view and camera
control capabilities. HTTP mode makes it possi-
ble for up to three separate computers to view
off, but it can also be manually activated. A
special collar positioned around the sensor
holds the loosened dust. In addition, by shoot-
ing a plain white subject, the photographer can
acquire dust delete data that are transmitted
along with the image (whether JPEG or RAW).
Canon Digital Photo Professional (DPP) software
can then be used to manually or automatically
erase the dust spots, potentially saving a
tremendous amount of time in post-processing.
On the EOS-1D Mark IV, the low-pass filter on
the front surface of the sensor also has an
advanced fluorine coating that resists dust
adhesion. Persistent dust particles that used to
be difficult to loosen by vibration alone are now
more easily removed.
High-resolution 3.0-inch Clear View II
LCD Monitor
The EOS-1D Mark IV features a brilliant 3.0-inch
LCD monitor with approximately 920,000 dots
for high-resolution image and information dis-
play. It provides 100% image area coverage
and a wide viewing angle of 160˚ (both verti-
cally and horizontally) with vibrant brightness
to ensure excellent viewing ability even in
bright outdoor conditions. A specially engi-
neered optical elastic resin filling between
the LCD panel and the outer reinforced glass
protective cover reduces internal reflections,
ensuring breath taking display visibility and
clarity. When viewing images, the user can
press the illumination button to immediately
access the LCD brightness adjustment screen.
Refined Ergonomics
Subtle enhancements in the shape, stroke and
positioning of buttons and controls make the
EOS-1D Mark IV one of the most ergonomically
advanced cameras ever designed. Attention to
user interface detail provides the precise tactile
feedback and intuitive control layout on which
professional photographers depend for fast
operational mastery and day-to-day productivity.

The system consists of the Battery Charger
LC-E4 and AC Adapter Kit ACK-E4. Battery cali-
bration is performed using the charger. With
repeated charge/discharge cycles, a discrepancy
between the battery’s reported and actual
remaining capacity develops. Thus, after the
battery undergoes 20 discharge/charge cycles,
a message recommending battery calibration
will appear at the bottom of the camera screen
the next time the battery is installed. Calibration
entails a full discharge followed by a full
recharge, after which accurate battery capacity
information can once again be obtained.
Two battery packs can be attached to the
LC-E4 charger. It takes about 120 minutes to
recharge one battery pack. The charger is com-
patible with the optional DC power adapters
(12V/24V), enabling charging via a car battery
with the optional Car Battery Cable CB-570.
An Unmatched Selection of Focusing
Screens
The EOS-1D Mark IV is equipped with the Laser
Matte Ec-C IV focusing screen, which provides
top notch optical performance. Background blur
appears more natural, and graininess and flare
are reduced. At the same time, the finder is
brighter, especially at the edges and corners.
Moreover, as with all EOS-1 Series digital SLR
cameras, the EOS-1D Mark IV provides profes-
sional photographers with a wide choice of
interchangeable focusing screens.
Unsurpassed Dependability
and Ergonomics
Outstanding Shutter Durability and
Performance
The EOS-1D Mark IV shutter mechanism is rated
for 300,000 cycles. To attain such a high level
of dependability, Canon developed new surface
finishes and heating processes in manufacturing
to create key components of exceptional
durability. To increase shutter stability and
precision, a PR (Photo Reflector) is employed
to detect the slit-passing time. No mechanical
contacts are used for the X-sync flash trigger,
thereby eliminating contact scorching and
wear. Instead, the X-sync employs the PR signal
and a semiconductor switch. This not only
improves reliability but also makes possible
a maximum X-sync speed of 1/300 second
with Canon EX-series Speedlites.
Rugged Magnesium-alloy Construction
Magnesium alloy is used for the EOS-1D Mark IV
top, front and rear covers as well as for the
memory card slot covers. The chassis and mirror
box are also made of magnesium alloy. Because
the alloy exhibits an excellent strength-to-weight
ratio, the camera body is exceptionally tough,
rigid and light. The magnesium alloy also func-
tions as an electromagnetic shield, providing
added data protection. The EOS-1D Mark IV is
thus built to withstand punishing professional
use, providing reliable long-term performance
under the most dema nding conditions.
Weather-resistant Design
Legendary Canon water- and dust-resistant
construction measures are incorporated
throughout the EOS-1D Mark IV. All camera
controls and cover seams are tightly sealed
with specially designed silicone rubber gaskets.
O-rings protect the memory card slot covers and
the battery compartment. The camera’s hot shoe
is shaped to repel water with a rib around its
perimeter. With professional Canon Speedlite
flash units, such as the 580EX II, water-
resistance is maintained. And when a water-
resistant EF lens is attached to the camera, the
integrated combination provides professional
photographers with extreme dependability
under the harshest working conditions.
EOS Integrated Cleaning System
The Canon EOS Integrated Cleaning System
uses both mechanical and software methods to
effectively deal with dust accumulation on the
imaging sensor. Dust that settles on the sensor
surface is removed using ultrasonic vibration.
This self-cleaning routine is automatically acti-
vated whenever the camera is powered on or
63
the camera’s memory card contents over the
Internet, providing simple drag-and-drop file
transfer capability. The HTTP mode now also
includes a server function, enabling remote
Live View and remote camera control.
•USB Host Capability with GPS Support –
Photographers can take full advantage of the
WFT-E2 II A USB host capability by connecting a
compatible GPS device. This makes it possible
to add GPS coordinates, altitude and UTC time
code to embedded shooting data on images
captured with the EOS-1D Mark IV. Compatible
GPS units include several in Garmin’s GPSMAP
series and in the Magellan eXplorist series
(using NMEA 0183 v.2.0.1 output data standard
or “Garmin protocol”).
•Linked Multi-Camera Shooting – Using multi-
ple WFT units on compatible EOS Digital cam-
eras, up to ten Slave cameras can be linked
wirelessly to a Master camera. Connections are
made simply and conveniently via wireless LAN.
Slave camera shutters are automatically tripped
when the Master camera shutter is released. With
such a setup, a photographer can, for example,
shoot simultaneously from various angles.

of the Federal Communications Commission. This device is not,
and may not, be offered for sale or lease, or sold or leased,
until authorization is obtained.
Original Data Security Kit
The OSK-E3 Original Data Security Kit is an
optional accessory providing sophisticated data
verification and security features. With the EOS-
1D Mark IV, shooting data (including any GPS
data), as well as pixel data in the image itself,
can be verified as original and unaltered. Image
data encryption/decryption (secured transmis-
sion) is also possible with the EOS-1D Mark IV.
Designed for press applications, this feature will
prevent the wrongful use of images intercepted
at public events. With the Canon OSK-E3, the
images themselves are encrypted, not just the
memory card. Encryption of images requires the
use of a registered camera with the Original
Data Security card installed. Decrypting image
files and viewing or saving them requires a
computer with OSK-E3 software, the card
installed in the included card reader and user
authentication. The kit consists of the Original
Data Security card, the USB reader/writer, and
the dedicated application programs (in the EOS
Digital Solution Disk).
Lightweight “Smart” Battery Pack and
Charger
The powerful Canon LP-E4 Rechargeable Battery
Pack — a 2300 mAh Lithium-ion battery — is
small and lightweight. It is a “smart” battery,
containing an IC chip that enables information
exchange with the camera. On a dedicated
screen on the Canon EOS-1D Mark IV’s LCD, the
photographer can quickly verify power source
type, remaining capacity (with a 6-level indicator
and a percentage readout), shots taken since
the battery charged, whether battery calibration
is needed and even when the battery has
reached the end of its useful life.
