TTL Setup with Remote Flash
Before shooting, please note:
All Users:
Be sure to update the fi rmware as described in the Getting Started section of the Wiki.
See page 2 for details.
Nikon Users
: Set your camera to use Auto-FP. On most Nikon Cameras, this is Custom Function e1,
located under the Custom Setting menu. This setting should be set to the slowest shutter speed
with the “(Auto FP)” option. Most Nikon cameras will use “1/250 (Auto FP)”, although some will
be “1/200 (Auto FP)”.
Canon Users
: Please be sure to select your camera from the drop down menu in the Channels
tab, after you check the fi rmware, while the radio is still connected to the Utility program.
Basic wireless iTTL/eTTL with a remote speedlight:
1. Install the batteries in your PocketWizard radios.
2. Attach the transmitting radio to your camera’s hot shoe and tighten the locking ring.
3. Attach your speedlight to the receiving radio and tighten the locking ring.
4. Turn on your fl ash, set the receiving PocketWizard to C1. Set your fl ash to regular TTL, not
master or slave. A low power fl ash will be emitted from the connected speedlight, confi rming
proper communication.
5. Set the transmitting PocketWizard to C1, then turn on your camera.
6. Set your camera to 1/160 and take a calibration shot.
a. For Nikon, the remote fl ash will fi re, but may not sync properly.
b.
For
Canon, the remote fl ash will not fi re.
7. Take a second test shot. Your remote fl ashes will fi re a TTL exposure and then you are all set.
Happy shooting!
