Position the receiver cameras in clear view of the sender camera, without objects between them. Receiver cameras can be positioned up to approx. 50 m / XX ft. from the sender camera. However, the distance supported for linked shooting may be shorter depending on the wireless communication conditions, which are affected by how the cameras are positioned, the usage environment, and weather conditions. Pressing the shutter button halfway on the sender camera will also put the receiver cameras in a state corresponding to when their shutter buttons are pressed halfway. Similarly, fully pressing the shutter button on the sender camera will also put the receiver cameras in a state corresponding to when their shutter buttons are fully pressed. There will be a slight delay in the shutter release timing between the sender and receiver cameras. (Simultaneous shooting is not possible.)
Caution
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.
Note
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 sender camera and receiver cameras, the settings are retained even after you replace the batteries. If you will no longer use a receiver camera in linked shooting, go to [Connection settings] and set [LinkedShot] to [Disconnect].

If the transmission rate of a wireless LAN drops because of the influence of the following electronic devices, stop using them or establish a connection farther away from them.
If a wireless LAN terminal on the same frequency band as the transmitter is used nearby, the transmission rate of the wireless LAN may drop.
Access point and channel settings
To optimize the performance of the transmitter, it is recommended that you use the transmitter under the following conditions:
To establish connection in infrastructure mode, use of 5 GHz channels and an IEEE 802.11ac-compliant access point are recommended. If you use channels on the 2.4 GHz band, sufficient transmission rates may not be secured for communication. To establish connection in camera access point mode, using channels in the 5 GHz bandwidth is recommended. If you use channels in the 2.4 GHz bandwidth, the performance may not be as good as expected. If the communication speed is too slow, using infrastructure mode is recommended. Some of the channels are not available for wireless LAN communication depending on the laws and regulations of the area where the product is used. For details, see "Wireless LAN Restrictions" in the instructions that are provided with the product.
Notes for Using Multiple Wireless Transmitters
When multiple cameras with a wireless transmitter attached are connected to one access point, make sure that the cameras' IP addresses are different. When multiple cameras with a wireless transmitter attached are connected to one access point, the transmission rate drops. When there are multiple IEEE 802.11n/g/b (2.4 GHz band) access points, leave a gap of four channels between each wireless LAN channel to reduce radio wave interference. For example, use channels 1, 6, and 11, channels 2, 7, and 12, or channels 3, 8, and 13. When IEEE 802.11ac/n/a can be used (on the 5 GHz band), switch to IEEE 802.11ac/n/a (on the 5 GHz band) and specify a different channel.

Security
If security settings have not been properly set, the following problems may occur.
Interception of communication Third parties with malicious intent may intercept the wireless LAN communication and may attempt to acquire the data being transmitted. Unauthorized network access Third parties with malicious intent may gain unauthorized access to your network, attempting to steal, modify, or destroy your data. Additionally, you could fall victim to other types of unauthorized access, such as impersonation (where someone assumes an identity to gain access to unauthorized information) or springboard attacks (where someone gains unauthorized access to your network as a springboard to cover their tracks when infiltrating other systems).
To reduce the possibility of encountering such problems, you should implement measures and use functions to help secure your network.

Checking Network Settings
Windows Open [Command Prompt] on Windows, type ipconfig /all and press the Enter key. It displays the IP address assigned to your computer along with the subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server information.
macOS Open [Terminal] on macOS. Type ifconfig -a and press the Return key. The IP address assigned to the computer is indicated in the [enX] item (X: number) next to [inet], in the format ***.***.***.***. * For information about [Terminal] see the Help menu on macOS.
To avoid using the same IP address for your computer and other devices on the network, change the lowest digit when you configure an IP address for a camera unit manually ( ). e.g. 192.168.1.10
