Linked Shooting with Radio Transmission
 
Shooting with manual focus is recommended for the slave unit cameras. 
If focus cannot be achieved with autofocus, linked shooting is not 
possible with the corresponding slave unit camera.
 
There is a short time lag between the release of the slave unit camera 
and the release timing of the master unit camera. Perfectly simultaneous 
shooting is not possible.
 
If you fire multiple flash units at the same time during linked shooting, the 
appropriate exposure may not be obtained or uneven exposure may 
result.
 
When [Flash firing] in [Flash function settings] is set to [Disabled
(p.44), linked shooting cannot be performed.
 
When performing linked shooting in the Live View state with P.Fn-07 set 
to 0 (p.102), set [Silent LV shoot.] on the master camera menu to 
[Disabled]. If [Mode 1] or [Mode 2] is set, the slave unit cameras will not 
be released.
 
The transmission distance may be shorter depending on the conditions 
such as the positioning of slave units, the surrounding environment and 
weather conditions.
 
The linked shooting function is the same function as the linked shooting 
featured by the WFT series of wireless file transmitters. However, linked 
shooting cannot be performed in combination with the WFT series. 
Moreover, the release time lag differs from linked shooting performed 
using the WFT series.
 
You can use this function as a master unit remote control for linked 
shooting without attaching a Speedlite or transmitter to a camera. When 
function button 1 <U> on the master unit is pressed, all the slave unit 
cameras are released.
 
During linked shooting, the time until auto power off takes effect is 5 min. 
for both the master and the slave cameras.
 
During linked shooting, the Speedlites can be fired (P.Fn-07/p.102).
