FJ-X2m: Preparing Your Camera
An FJ-X2m Wireless Trigger is compatible with various brands of cameras to operate the FJ400 strobe.
Each camera manufacturer chooses a different approach to how their cameras interact with off-camera
lights. A few adjustments to your camera settings are required for the FJ-X2m and FJ400 to properly
perform with your camera. Below are a few settings to check out first. We recommend referring your
camera’s user manual for details specific to your camera brand and model.
