Linked Shooting With Radio Transmission - Canon SPEEDLITE EL-1 Advanced User's Manual

Linked Shooting with Radio Transmission

When using an EOS DIGITAL camera released in or after 2012 (except
EOS REBEL T100/4000D/3000D, EOS REBEL T7/1500D/2000D, EOS REBEL T6/1300D
and EOS REBEL T5/1200D), you can perform linked shooting, which automatically releases
the shutter of a receiver camera unit by linking it to the sender camera unit. You can perform
linked shooting with up to 16 units, including both sender units and receiver units. This is
useful when you want to shoot a subject from multiple angles at the same time.
To perform linked shooting, attach a Speedlite or a Speedlite Transmitter that supports radio
transmission wireless shooting to the camera. When used with a camera released up to
2011 or with EOS REBEL T100/4000D/3000D, EOS REBEL T7/1500D/2000D,
EOS REBEL T6/1300D or EOS REBEL T5/1200D, the unit can be used only as "sender
camera unit". The unit cannot be used as a "receiver camera unit".
* Some cameras are not supported.
(1) Sender camera unit
(2) Receiver camera unit
(3) Transmission distance: Approx. 30 m / 98.4 ft.
Note
When an EL-1 set for linked shooting and a camera are combined, they are
referred to respectively as a "sender camera unit" and a "receiver camera unit".
