NOTES on overall system performance (visit PocketWizard.com for the latest updates):

1.HyperSync performance varies by camera. Although all cameras listed will have some HyperSync benefit, some will not achieve 1/400 or 1/500. See PocketWizard.com for a listing of specific camera capabilities and HyperSync settings.

2.Commonly, a normal shutter release occurs after first pressing the shutter button halfway to establish focus and exposure. If the camera is in sleep mode and the shutter release is pressed all the way down without first establishing focus and exposure, the first exposure may not be proper.

3.Canon flash models 430EX, 580EX, and 580EX II emit RF interference that can substantially reduce the effective operating range of many radio slaves, including the FlexTT5. For these model flashes, please utilize the mounting suggestions on Page 30 to optimize range. Using Canon’s off shoe cord OC-E3, greatly improves range. Consider adding a ferrite clamp on the cable near the flash to further increase range. The Canon 430EX II performs dramatically better in this regard. It does not require special mounting consideration and yields greater range.

NOTES for specific cameras:

1. On the 5D MarkII, a flash mounted in the hot-shoe of a MiniTT1/FlexTT5 on camera will currently not function. This should be solved with further testing.

2. When remote triggering the 30D camera, it must be set to “Auto Power Off – Disable” otherwise
