Abstract

A single oscillator synchronizer system and method that automatically switches from a wireless receive mode of the oscillator to a wireless transmit mode of the oscillator upon the detection of a synchronization (synch) signal of a camera body (224, 325). In one example, a method of wirelessly communicating a camera synchronization from a camera body (225, 325) to a remote device with a wireless camera flash synchronizer (200, 300) connected to a synchronization connector (230, 330, 330') of the camera body, the wireless camera flash synchronizer including a transceiver (205, 305) having an oscillator element (210, 310) with a wireless receive mode and a wireless transmit mode, the oscillator element configured to be in only one of the wireless receive mode and wireless transmit mode at a time is provided. In another example, a wireless camera flash synchronizer (200, 300) that automatically switches from a wireless receive mode to a wireless transmit mode upon detection of a synch signal of a camera body (225, 325) is provided.
