When using an EOS DIGITAL camera released in and after 2012
(except EOS REBEL T5/1200D), such as EOS-1D X, you can perform
linked shooting, which automatically releases the shutter of a receiver
camera unit by linking it to the sender camera unit. You can perform
linked shooting with up to 16 units, including both sender units and
receiver units. This is convenient when you want to shoot a subject from
multiple angles at the same time.
To perform linked shooting, attach a Speedlite or a Speedlite Transmitter
that supports radio transmission wireless shooting to the camera.
Note that when used with a camera released up to 2011 or EOS REBEL
T5/1200D, the unit can be used only as a “sender camera unit”. The unit
cannot be used as a “receiver camera unit”.
Before performing the operations on the next page, attach a Speedlite
or transmitter to all the cameras to be used for linked shooting. For
details on setting other devices, refer to the instruction manuals of the
devices.

function is called either “sender camera unit” or “receiver camera unit”.
