READ ME FIRST

If this is the first time you are using a remote E-TTL II flash system, we recommend you consult your camera and flash manuals for your camera for the basics of positioning your flash units.

Review the owner’s manuals for your camera and flash system. For most basic functions when using Canon’s system or PocketWizard’s, operation is identical. Important exceptions will be noted in this manual.

All equipment should be turned OFF when making connections, otherwise unwanted triggering may occur when inserting or removing a flash or camera cable.

The first exposure after making initial connections or powering on may not be properly exposed. The first shot is a camera calibration shot. Always test fire at least twice!

You may use a FlexTT5 as a transmitter instead of a MiniTT1 in all scenarios.

Make sure all PocketWizard radios are set to the same PocketWizard channel. The PocketWizard channel is used instead of Canon’s E-TTL II communication channel. See the LEARN Mode and channels section for more information.

IMPORTANT: Canon flashes set to <SLAVE> and connected to FlexTT5 radios will have slave mode automatically turned off, but will still function as slaves correctly. Set the Canon slave group via the FlexTT5 Zone Switch.

Only compatible Canon Speedlites can be used in the MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 hot shoe. Other brands of hot shoe flashes, E-TTL compatible or manual, will not trigger.
