Difference between Radio Transmission and Optical Transmission
Wireless shooting using radio transmission has advantages over wireless shooting using optical transmission, such as being less affected by obstacles, and not having to point the slave unit’s wireless sensor toward the master unit. The main functional differences are as follows.
