HyperSync Automation with the PowerMC2 is intended for use with the Einstein E640 flash. Using the Einstein’s
“Color” mode will provide the best results. The E640 only provides its best HyperSync results when set to full power
(+3 on the AC3 ZoneController or master Speedlite). Due to its IGBT design, settings lower than full power may
result in clipping.
You can read more about this behavior on the IGBT-controlled flashes vs. Voltage-controlled flashes page.
Before you connect a PowerMC2 to the PocketWizard Utility via USB, make sure to disconnect the radio from the
Einstein flash. Failure to disconnect the PowerMC2 from the flash before connecting it to the Utility could result in
damage to the radio.
