Advanced Features via PocketWizard Utility (cont’d)
Remote TTL Flash Sleep Delay: Normally your ControlTL transmitter tells all remote E-TTL II ashes to
sleep when the camera sleeps. This saves batteries in the remote ash but could cause the ash to take a
moment to be ready before the next trigger. Enable this feature to have your ControlTL transmitter wait to tell
all remote E-TTL II ashes to sleep until a time after the camera sleeps. This feature can be independently
over-ridden by a remote ash using Flash Idle Time Out Mode.
Flash Idle Timeout Mode: If you are using a standard transmitter like a Plus or MultiMAX, the sleep
command is never issued – the ash would always remain powered on. Enabling this feature causes the
connected ash to remain awake for a set period after any radio activity, then enter its sleep mode for
power saving. This control overrides Remote TTL Flash Sleep Mode.
Force TTL Master Mode: Enables the use of a 430EX or 430EX II in the shoe of a ControlTL transmitter
as a master to trigger remote ashes. The transmitter tells the camera that <MASTER> mode is active even
though that mode is not available or set in the ash. This also benets the 580EX. Set the 580EX in the shoe
to normal mode (<MASTER>=OFF) and enable Force TTL Master Mode. This will make the 580EX in the
shoe not emit communication ashes. This reduces the “ickering pre-ash” that bothers some subjects.
Camera Model: Set to Auto, your radio uses the rst trigger of a session as a calibration shot. You can
select your exact camera model. This will eliminate losing a rst shot to calibration BUT means you cannot
swap your radio onto another model of camera, nor will you be able to Auto-calibrate your selected camera
if some variable (temperature, new camera rmware, potentially certain custom functions) throws off the
timing. Auto is the recommended and default setting.
Bottom Shoe Disable Mode: Check this box to turn off the bottom shoe on a FlexTT5. This is useful for
remote cameras where you want to deploy the FlexTT5 radio in the shoe, but do not want the FlexTT5 to
act as an Auto-Relay transmitter.
