There are many ways to use PocketWizard radios to trigger manual ashes. Any PocketWizard Transmitter
can be used for triggering remote manual ashes. You may have as many remote PocketWizard radios on
the same channel as you would like.
The FlexTT5 used as a receiver can trigger a compatible Canon Speedlite set to manual mode in its shoe,
or trigger a manual ash (studio pack, monolight, non-Speedlite hotshoe ash) connected to .
The MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 used as a Transmitter can trigger and provide HyperSync for any PocketWizard
radio including the Plus II, MultiMAX, or OEM ash packs with a built-in PocketWizard. See HyperSync for
more information.
NOTE: You can use manual ashes while using E-TTL II ashes. Manual ashes will not be calculated as
part of the E-TTL II exposure, so compensate accordingly. The manual ashes will re in sync with the
main ash burst, and not in sync with the E-TTL II pre-ash.
Remote Speedlites
O
Please read your Canon manuals for the steps to enter manual mode. Usually it is engaged by
pressing MODE on the Speedlite until M appears.
If you are transmitting on a Standard channel, and wish to trigger a remote Speedlite, the Speedlite must
be set to manual mode. If the Speedlite in the shoe of the remote FlexTT5 is set to E-TTL, the LED on the
FlexTT5 will blink red indicating an error. Set the ash to manual.
NOTE: Only compatible Canon Speedlites can be used as a manual ash in the FlexTT5 hot shoe. Other
brands of hot shoe ashes, E-TTL compatible or manual, may not trigger.
