They have- EOS 3 and The 1v. These cameras have channels for three different
users. Setting it up is not a once and done thing either-recommendation is
that you set each used channel for as many different lighting situations as
you will use the camera in. Canon recommends that if your going to use the
unit with eyeglasses
that you set a channel for eyeglasses. EyeControl is a little challenge to
learn and use, but it does work.
