Using the IR Link cable
If you are using the IR link cable there are a few things that you must ensure that you setup on
both the Genie and your camera before you start.
- Firstly in the ‘Settings’ change the camera model to the camera that you will be using.
- On your camera make sure that you turn of LCD preview and make sure that your
camera is setup to receive a remote signal.
- Another thing to keep in mind if you are shooting in RAW is you must ensure there is enough
time between frames for the camera to process the image. This will ensure that no frames
are skipped due to the picture buffer in the camera filling up. This has been an issue that
has occurred with some cameras.
