Wireless Control of Focusing
The addition of wireless file-transmitter (WFT-E6A) enables the EOS C300 Mark II to function in
multiple production applications.
Utilizing dual 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz frequencies, remote control
of the camera via a simple browser window is now possible via a compatible smartphone, tablet,
or laptop.
When the C300 Mark II is imaging in a remote situation – for example, on the end of
a jib arm, or aerial shooting from a drone, the Browser Remote function can carry through
almost all shooting operations and settings from a tablet.
Especially significant is the fact that
focusing functions have been added, and the focusing area can be moved by touch – something
that cannot be done using the camcorder body controls. Accurate focusing operations, which
cannot be performed manually from a remote location, can now be carried out.
