with feature but not compatible with rear curtain + radio (problem = no flash

sync or black bands appear when using radio). Use ▲▼ to match MultiMAX

shutter speed setting with camera shutter speed. Use /MENU A A A for

fine adjustments or for shutter speeds other than provided.

SpeedCycler: /MENU A D

Helps reduce flash recycle time limitations by cycling through multiple remote

flash units, each on a separate Zone. Select multiple Zones on MultiMAX (set

for TRANSMIT). On main screen, arrow indicates next zone to trigger.

Receive Delay Menu: /MENU A A

PORT 1 + PORT 2: /MENU A A A

(see Fig. 1)

Delays trigger to both PORTs. On main screen, small D below

PORT 2 will be delayed. Use for controlling flash trigger timing in long

exposures, and other effects. Set different delays on multiple MultiMAX units

(set for RECEIVE) for repeatable flash sequences.

PORT 2 Only: /MENU A A B (see Fig. 1)

Delays triggering to PORT 2 only. PORT 1 triggers immediately. Use for

double exposure or other special effects.

Equalize: /MENU A A C

Helps synchronize multiple cameras (1/125 shutter speed) to single flash and

enables lag time measurement of camera. Connect camera PC sync cable to

PORT 1 or slide MultiMAX (set for RECEIVE) onto camera shoe. Connect

camera remote cable to PORT 2. Press TEST several times to measure

camera lag. Press /MENU to accept when number displayed seems

consistent. Perform same operation on other cameras. Connect separate

MultiMAX (set for RECEIVE) to flash and on that unit press /MENU A A C,

/MENU (accept displayed 0.1500 setting). Trigger with separate MultiMAX

(set for TRANSMIT). See MultiMAX manual for more information.

Fast Mode: /MENU A D

cameras, up to 1/1000 second. Main screen displays FAST MODE. Quad

Triggering and Confirmation are not available in Fast Mode.

Transmit & Receive Advanced Menu

Intervalometer:

/MENU A B

Repeatedly triggers camera at set interval for set number of triggers. Use for

time-lapse photography applications or other effects. Set interval (amount of

time between triggers) in Hours:Minutes:Seconds. Set number of triggers/

counter. Connect camera remote cable to PORT 2. Press TEST to start

cycle. Intervalometer is not transmitted in TRANSMIT mode – only locally

attached cameras are triggered.

MultiPop: /MENU A C

Repeatedly triggers flash unit at set interval for set number of triggers. Use

for increasing depth of field with multiple flash triggers set at safe intervals

for flash recycling, or other time-lapse effects. Set interval (amount of time

between triggers) in Seconds. Set number of triggers/counter. Connect flash

sync cable to PORT 2. Press TEST to start cycle. MultiPop is not

transmitted in TRANSMIT mode – only locally attached flash units are

triggered. For remote flash MultiPop, set MultiPop on each individual flash

unit’s MultiMAX (set for RECEIVE).
