E-TTL Basic Wireless E-TTL: MiniTT1 OO FlexTT5 No flash on Camera 1. Slide MiniTT1 Transmitter onto camera. 2. Slide remote Speedlite onto FlexTT5 Transceiver. Repeat for each remote Speedlite. All remote E-TTL flashes will be treated as one zone of light. 3. Make sure all your PocketWizard radios are on the same channel and trigger normally. This mode is like using Canon ST-E2 (non-ratio mode) or 580EX (I or II, master mode, main flash off, non-ratio) in camera shoe.
E-TTL 1. Slide MiniTT1 Transmitter onto camera. 2. Slide Canon 580EX Speedlite onto MiniTT1 radio. Set Speedlite for MASTER = ON. Enable slave groups/zones per flash instructions. Canon Speedlite Transmitter ST-E2 may also be used. 3. Set remote FlexTT5 radio to desired Canon ratio slave group/zone (A, B, C) using FlexTT5 zone switch. 4. Slide remote Speedlite onto FlexTT5 Transceiver. Set Speedlite for regular E-TTL mode (not SLAVE or MASTER). Repeat for each remote Speedlite.
Manual Flash “Wireless Manual” via E-TTL: MiniTT1 OO FlexTT5 Remote “Wireless Manual” flash using 580EX II Canon’s “Setting the Flash Output for Each Slave” or “Wireless Manual” system allows setting a remote flash to a desired manual level from the MASTER flash. You must use a 580EX II on the MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 as transmitter. The original 580EX or earlier flashes cannot perform this function via ControlTL radios. “Wireless Manual” uses controls similar to ratio mode.
Manual Flash 1. Slide MiniTT1 Transmitter onto camera. 2. If desired, slide Canon E-TTL Speedlite onto MiniTT1 radio. 3. Make sure all your PocketWizard radios are on the same channel and trigger normally. Note: Manual remote flashes are not calculated as part of the E-TTL exposure. Use PocketWizard Utility to engage HyperSync™ and explore faster than X-sync shutter speeds. Visit www.PocketWizard.com for more information.
LEARN Mode Channels can be taught via PocketWizard Utility (recommended) or from any PocketWizard transmitter: IMPORTANT: Hold radios at least 2 feet apart when teaching/learning. 1. Turn MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 radio ON and select channel to be taught: C.1 or C.2. 2. Press and hold TEST for several seconds until LED blinks amber, then release TEST. 3. Quickly press and hold TEST on teaching transmitting radio (MiniTT1, FlexTT5, Plus II or MultiMAX). When LED blinks green, channel is learned.
Other Functions A FlexTT5 radio in camera’s shoe and connected with motor drive cord to P1 can receive a radio trigger, trigger the camera’s motor drive, which in turn triggers a remote flash. The channel used for relay transmit is 1 higher than taught channel, unless set via PocketWizard Utility. Example: If you taught FlexTT5 radio Standard channel 2, then relay transmit occurs on Standard channel 3. Press TEST on hand-held trigger radio to begin relay sequence.
Other Functions RESET RESET A: To reset learned channels to channels last set in Utility, hold TEST on power up. LED blinks green twice to indicate reset. Release TEST. Advanced features set via Utility are retained. RESET B: To reset all advanced features and channels to FACTORY DEFAULTS, hold TEST on power up for longer than 10 seconds. When LED blinks green 4 times, release. B: Default Advanced Features C.1 = ControlTL channel 1, Standard channel 1 C.
