Positioning the Cameras



If focus cannot be achieved with autofocus, linked shooting is not 
possible with the corresponding slave camera units.



Do not use multiple flash units. Although slight, there is a difference in 
the shutter release timing which may cause out-of-sync flash firing and 
inadequate exposure.



Linked shooting is not possible when the slave cameras are set to any 
setting other than [Mirror lockup: Disable], or when the Live View 
shooting/Movie shooting switch of the master or slave camera is set to 
<k>.



During linked shooting, when you press the AE lock or depth-of-field 
preview button, the camera adjusts the focus and meters as if you had 
pressed the shutter button halfway.



Once you have established a connection between the master camera 
and slave cameras, the settings are retained even after you replace the 
batteries.



If you will no longer use a slave camera in linked shooting, set 
[Connection settings] to [Disconnect] on that slave camera.



Any cameras compatible with linked shooting, when they have WFT 
series transmitters attached, can be used as slave cameras, regardless 
of model.
