Is it me who is suffering from information lag or it's just that the new RT system can do link shooting?

Link via RT or optical?

Link via RT or optical?

Linked via RT. Basically, a cam with a 600EX-RT as master camera and flash, when you shoot, your other cameras with 600EX-RT as slave will also shoot at the same time.

I've read from eos magazine april-june 12 edition page 28.. You can do so. *but i haven't try it*

Yes, you can do that. I recently tried using ST-E3 RT remotely triggered a 600EX-RT mounted on the camera. All you need to do, is to set the ST-E3 as master and 600EX-RT as slave with the same channel and pin number. Once you press the test button, the camera will pre-focus and fire. However, the flash on the camera will not fire. You can fire as many cameras as you can as long as they have ST-E3 and 600EX-RT mounted on them.

Do take note, this setup will only work with camera made in 2012, like 5DMK3 and 1Dx. You can still remote trigger the older model cameras but with the help of the trigger cable, which linked the flash to the camera.

Oh! I realised that flash can be fired during linked shooting. Need to enable it at personal function.

Yup! It is good news to certain group of photographers indeed!

And the RT system does have alot of new things, got to read the manual carefully.

Eh some correction....only up to 16 camera =)

able to control 16 flashes including the master via radio is very good already.. most of us won't even have a quarter of the 16 600EX-RT to begin with :bsmilie:

I can only use optical as my slave is 580EX II.

Yeah.. if only we can use ST-E3 to control 600EX-RT and 600EX-RT is the optical master for the older flash like 580EXII, would be damn awesome!

True, but for me the optical one is gd enough as i'm not a heavy flash user too.

Just got call about the ST-E3 after many months of waiting

Bros who have the 600EX-RT, I'm ordering the Sto-Fen OM-ET Omni-Bounce from BH. Anyone interested in tagging along please PM me within the next couple of days. Will cost ~ $19 to $23 depending on interest level.

Thanks.

Kind of late? The mass order done?

 

[aaSKaa]

anyone can advise if 600RT works with 580EX2 ??? and hows the setup going to be ?

Using the optical triggers. Set either to master, the other to slave. Both have to be in line of view of each other to work.

 

[rendition]

Hmmm, I have 1DsIII. If I have both 600EXRT and ST-E3, what feature(s) will I not be able to use?

In addition, both must be of the same channel.
