Linked Shooting with Radio Transmission

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 68.
