EOS S.O.S

What does linked shot mode do, it displays on the LCD when the Speedlite Transmitter wireless button is pressed and held down?

Molly Franks, Preston

BRIAN SAYS… Linked shot is a special mode of operation that can be used to trigger multiple cameras from a single primary camera. Linked shot has two settings, sender/master and receiver/slave. Only one device will be the sender unit, all others will be receivers. When a photo is taken, all the receiver units trigger the shutter on the camera they are fitted to.

Linked shot is one way to capture multiple viewpoints of a subject during a shoot, although there is a delay of approximately 1/10 sec between the shutter on the sender and receiver units operating. The wireless system is limited to 16 devices which comprises a single sender and up to 15 receivers.
