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.
