User Manual
The pre-flash option can be adjusted manually if the number of pre-flashes of the speedlite
is known. Otherwise, simply choose “set up pre-flash” and release a speedlite exposure. The
number of pre-flashes will be automatically detected and stored. You are now ready to work with
your speedlites.
MANUAL PRE-FLASH SETUP (FOR ADVANCED USERS)
In some cases depending on the technology of the speedlite unit, the automatic pre-flash
detection may not work. In this case you can try a manual setup.
• manual: enter the number of pre-flashes from 1 to 10.
• block time: set the delay between each pre-flash from 0.5 to 5 ms.
• imeframe: set the time window in which all pre-flashes, including the main flash, are released.
Note: We cannot suggest any values or settings here; this depends on the speedlite unit and must
be tested until the correct synchronisation between the flash unit and the speedlite is achieved.
EL-SKYPORT TRANSCEIVER FEATURES & SETUP
The EL-Skyport options allow you to select the synchronisation speed and to define group and
channel settings.
DISPLAY OPTIONS SUB-OPTIONS
SKYPORT off (r.0)
normal (r.1)
speed (r.2)
group From “group 1” to “group 4”.
channel From “chan. 1” to “chan. 8”.
If you work with the EL-Skyport system you can easily choose the synchronization speed. The
“normal” synchronization mode is good when long distances are needed whereas the “speed”
synchronization should be used when higher shutter speeds are needed with enabled digital
cameras.
Finally you can choose in which group and frequency you would like to work. Change group
settings to have a better control between main light and second lights.
Change frequency channel to avoid interference.
AUDIO
The audio options give you the choice of different settings for when the capacitors are 100%
charged and the unit is ready to flash.
DISPLAY OPTIONS SUB-OPTIONS
AUDIO beep volume From “off” to “max”.
beep tone From “0” to “7”.
key click From “off” to “max”.
The volume of the beep sound for when the unit is ready to flash can be adjusted, enabling you to
work silently if needed
The beep tone can be chosen to improve acoustical recognition for when all flashes have fired
and are recycled.
Finally the volume of the key click can also be adjusted to your liking.
