All 100 channels are only selectable in Profoto flashes with AirX connectivity. Older 
flashes may only have channel 1-8 or channel 1-20 selectable. 

Control mode

The control mode setting is used to select between Air1 or Air2 control 
mode. See section “Air 1 and Air 2 control mode” for more information.

X-Sync

The X-sync setting is only visible in Canon and Nikon camera versions 
of Connect Pro. The factory setting is OFF. If X-sync is enabled, all 
data communication with the camera is disabled. This will completely 
disable Hi-Speed sync and Auto flash sync (TTL) functionality, but it will 
also enable faster continuous shooting with some camera models. The 
generally recommended X-sync setting is OFF.

menu. This is selected on the camera. On Nikon and Fujifilm cameras 
you also need to select Auto FP (HSS) if you want this to be enabled in 
the camera.

Bluetooth

The BLUETOOTH setting is used to enable and disable connectivity 
with Profoto apps.

• 

BLUETOOTH: Select ON to make the Connect Pro discoverable 
and OFF to deactivate Bluetooth. When Bluetooth is activated, a 
Bluetooth icon is shown at the top bar.

• 

When the remote is connected over Bluetooth this is indicated by 
the connected Bluetooth icon.

• 

DISCONNECT: This is only selectable if the Bluetooth is activated 
and connected to the Profoto app. It can be selected to force 
disconnection from the Profoto app without turning off Bluetooth.
