Why camera will not trigger Elinchrom flash units, but the test button works?
If the test button on your Elinchrom Transmitter works, but your camera won't trigger the flash units, consider the following: * Check the hotshoe fitting. * Ensure hotshoe communication is enabled in your camera settings. * Verify that the transmitter version is compatible with your Canon or Nikon camera. * Consult the list of compatible cameras.
What to do if Elinchrom flash unit cannot be triggered when the mode “ALL” is selected?
If your Elinchrom flash unit isn't triggering when the “ALL” mode is selected, make sure of the following: * The transmitter and receiver have the same frequency channel settings. * In ELSP MODE: the transmitter and receiver have the same synchronization mode settings (normal or speed sync mode). * The Skyport receiver is switched on in all EL-units with built-in receivers. * The transmitter version corresponds to your camera brand.
Why some Elinchrom units are not triggering when the group mode is selected?
If some of your Elinchrom units aren't triggering in group mode, please check these: * Verify the Group settings of the EL-flash unit. * Reduce the distance to any unresponsive unit. * Ensure the transmitter and receiver have the same synchronization mode settings (normal or speed sync mode) and frequency channel settings.
How to fix interference with other 2.4 GHz networks causing unreliable triggering of Elinchrom?
To resolve interference issues with other 2.4 GHz networks causing unreliable triggering of your Elinchrom system: * Try a different frequency channel for both the transmitter and the receiver of the EL-unit. * Reduce the distance between the flash unit and Transmitter Pro.
Why is the distance range limited on my Elinchrom PRO?
If you're experiencing a limited distance range with your Elinchrom Transmitter, consider these factors: * Reposition the units. * Increase the distance from walls and ceilings. * If in ELSP Mode: be aware that in speed sync mode, the distance range is reduced by approximately 50%. Switch back to normal sync mode to increase the range. * Outdoors, the distance range could be reduced due to humidity, interference, obstacles, etc.
What to do if scanning Elinchrom units and no EL-unit is found, or some units are missing?
If you're scanning for Elinchrom units and none are found, or some are missing, try the following: * Switch on all enabled EL-units, then switch on the EL-Skyport Transmitter Pro or go to setup and rescan. * Ensure frequency, group, and ELSP mode settings match with the Transmitter Pro. * Make sure that all Skyport enabled units are operating on the latest firmware.
How to fix automatic Hi-Sync / HSS mode sync up to 1/8000s on Elinchrom?
To optimize automatic Hi-Sync / HSS mode with your Elinchrom system: * Note that Elinchrom Action (previously A) heads are not optimized for Hi-Sync / HSS. For better performance, use flash units with Hi Sync or flash tubes heads. * ODS fine tuning can help optimize Hi-Sync performance. * If you see visible banding, reduce the shutter speed on your camera, or set ODS and adjust to minimize or avoid banding. * Hi Sync / HSS functionality only works with compatible cameras and the appropriate Transmitter Pro, and when the camera is set to shutter speeds above 1/250s.
What to do if some information is not displayed about Digital RX, Ranger RX or Style RX Elinchrom units?
If some information isn't displayed for Digital RX, Ranger RX, or Style RX Elinchrom units: * Note that units equipped with a plug-in Transceiver RX have limited remote features. These units can still be triggered and controlled (but without visual feedback) by the Transmitter Pro. * Consider updating the firmware of the Transmitter Pro.
