• The fastest usable shutter speed for flash (X-Sync) may be affected. This mode takes ~900 microseconds (1/1111
of a second) from the time X-sync is received until the remote flash begins generating light (radio propagation
delay). Some cameras and flash combinations will tolerate this delay and achieve X-sync normally. Some will
not. On those cameras that will not, you may need to reduce your shutter speed to something slower than X-sync
to eliminate black lines in your images. Shortening your flash duration may also help.
• A hot shoe flash or Speedlite in the top shoe of a radio in this mode will only trigger in manual mode.
Transmitter Only (FlexTT5 Only):
Allows the FlexTT5 to be used as a Transmitter only, just like the MiniTT1. This mode allows a photographer to
work in the same area as other photographers, and share remote flashes, without the flash on top of the FlexTT5
being triggered by the other photographers. When this mode is engaged, the FlexTT5 will not respond to any triggers
from another MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 acting as a Transmitter.
Disable Shoe Communications (FlexTT5 Only):
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.
Note: This control also disables triggering from the FlexTT5 top-shoe and P2 port. A speedlight connected to a
FlexTT5 with disabled shoe communications will not fire.
SpeedCycler:
This mode is designed to rapidly cycle through multiple flash units fired individually in sequence. This allows you to
fire a camera in sync with flashes faster than a single flash can recycle. It can also be used for triggering remote
cameras sequentially. SpeedCycler is engaged on a transmitting MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 via this checkbox.
SpeedCycler mode requires an AC3 ZoneController in the top shoe of the on-camera PocketWizard radio. Zones A,
B, and C will be triggered sequentially and individual zones can be disabled by setting the AC3’s Zone Switch to the
off position. Both TTL and manual flash are supported. Setting flash power manually will trigger faster. Receiving
MultiMAXes or Plus IIIs can be used instead of FlexTT5s provided a Standard Channel between 17 and 32 is in use.
Make sure to set the Standard Transmit Channel on your transmitting ControlTL radio to match the receiving
MultiMAX's or Plus III's. The MultiMAX's and Plus III's A, B, and C Zones correspond to the AC3's Zones.

Set this control to AC3/AC9 if an AC3 ZoneController or AC9 AlienBees Adapter will be connected to the top shoe
of this radio. Set it to Nissin Flash
[1]
to use this radio with a Nissin Di866 or Di622 for Canon.

Canon Camera Model (Canon Only):
Canon Only
Your radio always uses the first trigger of a session as a calibration shot. Some cameras have special considerations
that can be accounted for by selecting the Camera Model via this setting. For optimal performance, we recommend
selecting your specific camera model. This setting only affects radios configured to transmit when connected to a
compatible camera.
