Changing between Manual mode and TTL mode
You can change between shooting in Manual mode or TTL mode by turning
the until you reach the option at the right bottom corner of the Profoto
Remote Tool. Then turn the Side Dial to switch.
Note that when Manual mode is selected, the Rear Dial will change the energy
level for all Flash Groups at the same time regardless of which group is
selected. If TTL mode is selected, the Rear Dial will instead control the Flash
Compensation Value.
Changing the number of Flash Groups
You are able to control three Flash Groups with the Profoto Remote Tool by
default, but you can change this range down to one and up to six Flash
Groups. You do this by tapping the Advanced Settings icon which is just below
the Close Tool icon in the upper left corner. You then change the Group Range
from A…C to A...F with the Side Dial if you want all six Flash Groups enabled.
Note that the Advanced Setting menu also lets you change Transit and
Receive channels as well as Profoto PreFlash and AirTTL mode.
Triggering a Capture with the Profoto Remote
You can use a Profoto Remote unit to trigger a capture with the XF Camera
remotely as well as firing the flash system during the capture. For this to work
correctly, you need set the Transmit Channel and the Receive Channel to two
dierent channels and make sure that the Profoto Remote controller matches
the Receive Channel and the Profoto Air flash system matches the Transmit
Channel.
To setup the Transmit Channel and the Receive Channel, press the Rear Key
and select Capture Setup > Profoto. Then select either the Transmit Channel or
the Receive Channel and turn the Side Dial to select the desired channels.
Note that you can set both the Transmit Channel and the Receive Channel to
O. If you set the Transmit Channel to O, the XF Camera will not trigger a
flash system, and you can use the Profoto Remote as just an external wireless
trigger when you do not need a flash. Likewise, you can set the Receive
Channel to O if you do not want to ability to trigger a capture remotely, but
still need the XF Camera to trigger the Profoto flash system.
