Can the 5D Mark III Trigger Off Camera Flashes Like The 7D through IR?
« on: April 18, 2012, 12:38:49 PM »
Hey, I know my 7D used to be able to trigger my 580EX II using IR. Can the 5D Mark III do the same? I can't seem to find the wireless setting on my Mark III. Any help is much appreciated.

No. No built in IR transmitter. The 7d uses its pop up flash to control the remote flashes. :(

Your option is to buy an IR transmitter or use a flash as a master on camera.
