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.
Before performing the operations on the next page, attach a Speedlite 
or transmitter on all the cameras to be used for linked shooting. For 
details on the transmitter settings, see the transmitter’s instruction 
manual.
