Linked shooting is a function that automatically releases the shutter of a
slave unit camera by linking it to a master unit camera. You can shoot
with linked shooting for up to 16 units, including both master units and
slave units. This is convenient when you want to shoot a subject from
multiple angles at the same time.
To shoot with linked shooting, attach a flash that supports radio
transmission wireless shooting or the Speedlite Transmitter ST-E3-RT
to the camera.
Note that when using a camera with an N3 type remote control terminal
that was released up to 2011 as the “slave unit camera,” the “Release
Cable SR-N3” (sold separately) is needed. For details on attaching the
cable, see page 42.
Before performing the operations on the next page, attach a transmitter
or Speedlite on all the cameras to be used for linked shooting. For
details on the Speedlite settings, see the Speedlite’s instruction manual.
