With the 80cm OC-E4A multifunction cable from Canon for the hot shoe, photographers can trigger Canon flashes remotely. Removing the flash from the camera's hot shoe allows for unique and dramatic lighting styles that are not possible with a conventional hot shoe. Off-camera lighting reduces the harsh shadows that often occur with flashes mounted directly on the camera, giving photos a more natural look. This multifunction cable is also compatible with the DM-E1D digital stereo microphone, making it suitable for video applications as well.Translated by www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
