Selecting a camera when using
serial connection
You can select a camera number using the CAMERA 1
to CAMERA 7 buttons.
The pressed CAMERA button lights in yellow, and the
camera assigned with the same camera number as the
button becomes the target camera.
For serial connection, up to camera number 7 can be
assigned.
In a serial connection, groups are not used, hence the
group buttons do not light up.

yellow.
When a camera is turned on or is in standby mode, the
camera number buttons for cameras that can be operated
are lit blue.
