Product Description
Working in Macro mode can demand a level of precision and steadiness that
goes beyond the tolerances of typical picture taking. Mounting the camera on a
sturdy tripod and controlling the camera functions with a remote switch are
long-standing methods of minimizing camera shake and vibration. Now, thanks to
Canons Wireless Controller LC-5, photographers can easily create compelling
close-ups from a safe and secure 'line-of-sight' distance of up to 330 feet. Far
more than a wireless shutter release, this enhanced infrared remote provides
photographers with the flexibility to control essential camera functions without
intruding on the scene.
The Canon Wireless Controller LC-5 simply attaches to a compatible cameras
accessory shoe or can be separately attached to a supplied bracket and connected
to the cameras three-pronged N3 Remote socket with the supplied 15-inch
receiver cable. The unit is triggered with a pocket-sized transmitter that sends
an infrared pulse-modulated strobe signal to the receiver. Powered by four AA
alkaline batteries (approximately 4,500 operations per set), the LC-5 controller
is also compatible with AA-size Lithium, oxyride, and Nickel-hydride
rechargeable batteries.
Offering photographers the situational adaptability of four control modes, the
LC-5 can be set to Single-Shot mode which captures one shot each time the
transmitter button is pressed; Continuous mode which signals the receiver to
keep firing the camera (until the transmitter button is pressed again or until
the cameras buffer memory limit or maximum storage card capacity is reached);
Test mode, which illuminates a red LED on the receiver to confirm that the unit
is operating properly before shooting, and Delay mode, which fires a single shot
approximately 3.5 seconds after the transmitter button is pressed.
The Wireless Controller LC-5 is also equipped with three channel settings (A, B
and C) to ensure that multiple remote Canon users do not inadvertently set off
someone elses camera or in situations where a single photographer is remotely
triggering more than one camera set-up. In that instance the photographer has
the option of firing the separate cameras individually and at will or all at
once by selecting the units 'ALL' setting.
Whether capturing nature shots in macro mode or intimate wildlife studies that
must be fired at a distance, Canons Wireless Controller LC-5 expands the ease
and with it, the opportunities for unmanned but not unmonitored photography.
Among the expanded capabilities offered by the LC-5 that were unavailable on the
predecessor models is the improved one-shot release mode (1SR) that permits the
photographer to pre-focus the camera and then essentially lay in wait -
virtually indefinitely -- for the subject to cross into range. By pressing the
LC-5 transmitter trigger fully, the LC-5 remote receiver can now 'wake' the
camera from its energy saving 'sleep mode' and capture at will the image that
the photographer has patiently been waiting for. In other than 1SR mode, the
photographer needs only to depress the remote transmitters trigger button
halfway to engage the cameras autofocus before shooting.
The Wireless Controller LC-5s components -- transmitter, receiver and bracket
-- pack up into three conveniently sized cases for increased ease of use. The
unit is compatible with Canons prosumer EOS 20D digital SLR (and its
predecessor the EOS 10D) as well as the professional digital SLR cameras
including the EOS-1D, EOS-1Ds, EOS-1D Mark II, and EOS-1Ds Mark II.
Not limited to use on digital models, the Wireless Controller LC-5 is also
compatible with several EOS 35mm film-based SLR models including the EOS-3 and
the EOS-1v. |
