Wireless camera flash synchronizer system and method
First Claim
1. A method of wirelessly communicating a camera synchronization from a camera body to a remote device with a wireless camera flash synchronizer, the wireless camera flash synchronizer including a transceiver having an oscillator element having a wireless receive mode and a wireless transmit mode, the method comprising:
- setting the oscillator element to operate in the wireless receive mode;
prior to detecting a synchronization signal and after setting the oscillator element to operate in the wireless receive mode, loading a transmit frequency coding to the transceiver;
in response to detecting a synchronization signal, automatically setting the oscillator element to operate in the wireless transmit mode; and
wirelessly transmitting a synchronization data from the wireless camera flash synchronizer to the remote device.

Abstract
A system and method of wirelessly communicating a camera synchronization from a camera body to a remote device with a wireless camera flash synchronizer that prior to detecting a synchronization signal loads transmit frequency information to a transceiver and automatically switches from a wireless receive mode to a wireless transmit mode after detecting a first signal from a camera that is generated after the activation of a camera trigger.

10. A method of wirelessly communicating a camera synchronization from a camera body to a remote device with a wireless camera flash synchronizer, the wireless camera flash synchronizer including a transceiver having an oscillator element having a wireless receive mode and a wireless transmit mode, the method comprising:
-
setting the oscillator element to operate in the wireless receive mode; prior to detecting a synchronization signal, loading a transmit frequency to the transceiver; loading a transmit frequency coding into the transceiver, the transmit frequency coding including an instruction to the transceiver to operate in the wireless transmit mode; in response to receiving a first signal generated by the camera body, automatically setting the oscillator element to be capable of transmission to a remote device at the transmit frequency and based on the transmit frequency coding, the first signal generated after a trigger of the camera body is activated; and wirelessly transmitting a synchronization data based on a detected synchronization signal to the remote device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A wireless camera flash synchronizer comprising:
-
a transceiver having an oscillator element having a transmit mode and a receive mode; and an auto mode switcher for loading a transmit frequency to said transceiver prior to detecting the synchronization signal, loading a transmit frequency coding having an instruction to operate in the transmit mode to said transceiver, and automatically setting said oscillator element from the receive mode to the transmit mode in response to detecting a first signal generated by the camera, the first signal generated after a trigger of the camera is activated. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
