separate sets of the Wireless Controller LC-1 are
being used in the same field, each should be set to a

When the photographic situation calls for remote
control of two or three cameras in a series rather
than simultaneously. this is possible using one trans-
mitter by attaching a receiver to each camera, setting
each receiver to a different channel and changing the
channelon the transmitter in succession.
