Zero delay photographic synchronization system and method

摘要

A method of synchronizing a remote device to image acquisition by a camera body including detecting a predictor signal of the camera body that occurs a known time prior to shutter opening. The detected predictor signal is used to determine a time to synchronize the remote device to image acquisition via wireless communication. For example, the detected predictor signal may be used to predict when the shutter of the camera will be open. A wireless communication system for synchronizing a remote device to a camera body may include a memory having information used to synchronize the remote device to image acquisition based on the detection of the predictor signal occurring prior to a shutter opening.

1. A method of synchronizing a remote lighting device to image acquisition by a camera body, the method comprising:
detecting a predictor signal of the camera body, the predictor signal occurring at a known time prior to a shutter of the camera body opening; wirelessly communicating one or more signals to the remote lighting device, at least one of the one or more signals including a time indication based on the time between the predictor signal and the shutter opening; and synchronizing the remote lighting device to image acquisition using the time indication.
