Handy for taking pictures of subjects that are difficult to approach, or to minimize vibration for close-ups and time exposure.
The LC-4 is an extended range Infrared strobe-type wireless control system designed for professional and advanced amateur users of EOS cameras with N3 remote control sockets (EOS 3, 1V/HS, Digital SLR series). The remote will fire the camera shutter from up to a maximum distance of approx. 300' (100 m), and several sets can be linked together.
There are four control modes: single exposure, continuous exposure, test and 3.5-second delay. The 2-stage switch permits individual control of metering and shutter release, with similar functions to the camera shutter button, and can be switched to single-step mode. Three transmitter chanels are available, plus an "All" position for operating several cameras from an individual transmitter via multiple receivers. Powered by 8 AA alkaline-manganese or NiCd rechargeable batteries (4 for transmitter and 4 for receiver).
The receiver can be mounted on the camera hot shoe, but the set also comes supplied with a mounting bracket that leaves the hot shoe free for a flash.
