The PLUS II is the first radio triggering system to offer
Auto-Sensing Transceiver Technology. This technology analyzes the status
of the PLUS II’s miniphone jacks, camera hot shoe or the TEST button to
determine which mode (Transmit or Receive) to set itself. By default,
the PLUS II is always in Receiver mode unless it senses a trigger pulse
from a camera‚s hot shoe, then it quickly switches to a Transmitter. For
shooting situations that may require the Auto-Sensing disabled, simply
set the selector switch to “LOCAL” and the PLUS II will only receive
radio signals.
Since the Plus II is a Transceiver, there’s no need to worry about how
many Transmitters or Receivers to bring with you on the shoot because
it’s all-in-one. The Plus II is so simple yet advanced; utilizing its
new powerful microprocessor it will automatically trigger a camera and
remote flash within 10 microseconds (1/100th of a millisecond) with its
built-in Auto-Relay mode. Photographers can remotely trigger their
cameras and the camera-mounted PLUS II automatically relays the
triggering signal to a remote flash. With the PLUS II‚s fast switching
speed, there‚s no loss of camera shutter speed performance or triggering
delays. The Plus II also sports the fastest triggering speed in its
class, at an amazing 12 fps; it can out pace the fastest D-SLR’s
available.

Photo Quote: There is no art which affords less opportunity to execute expression than photography. Everything is concentrated in a few seconds, when after perhaps an hours seeking, waiting, and hesitation, the photographer sees the realization of his inward vision, and in that moment he has one advantage over most arts - his medium is swift enough to record his momentary inspiration. - Sadakichi Hartmann
