p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · 1D III & IV Remote Camera setup PWIII


Have two PW III's, the remote camera has the PW remote camera CM-N3-ACC cable gong from the port on the 1D to the PWIII. When I use the 2nd PW III as a remote control the camera will fire without issues. If I mount the second PW on the IDIII (or vise versa) the PWIII red light activates but the camera does not fire. What am I missing? Thx

I had this issue using a FlexTT5 for the remote camera and a Plus III for the triggering camera. To correct it I had set the FlexTT5 to basic trigger mode. I may have (don't recall specifically) also turned off the hot shoe. You may need to set the Plus III on the remote camera to receive only, but that would defeat relay mode which should still be available.

The Plus III's should already do this by design, so I'm going to have to set up in a similar fashion and test this out, as I don't want it to not work when I need it.

Just checked the plus III's with two Mk IV's. Looks like what you will need to do is change your focus priority to release priority. You are pre-focusing the remote camera and leaving the lens in manual focus, aren't you?

If that doesn't work, you have something else affecting your setup.

Hi, thx. No, camera was in autofocus mode. I was attempting to focus with the half depress feature of the PWIII which works fine when the PWIII is not mounted on the camera. I guess I incorrectly assumed that the master camera would also control the focus on the remote body.

I am not familiar with changing the focus to release priority I'll need to look that one up.

The only way I got my pair to work...was pre focus the remote, then switch it to manual focus

Works really well....!!

Thx, onesickpuppy, I'll check that approach out soon.
