Caring for Flash Trigger

- 01 - - 02 -

Thanks for your purchase of this ST-III Plus-C wireless flash trigger.

This wireless flash trigger is suitable for using Canon cameras to control PIXAPRO

flashes with ONE System e.g. camera flash, outdoor flash, and studio flash. It can

also control Canon original speedlites with the coordination of ST-III R-C receiver.

Featuring multi-channel triggering, stable signal transmission, and sensitive

reaction, it gives photographers unparalleled flexibility and control over their strobist

setups. The flash trigger applies to hotshoe-mounted Canon EOS series cameras,

as well as the cameras which have PC sync sockets.

With ST-III Plus-C wireless flash trigger, high speed synchronization is available for

most of camera flashes in the market which support E-TTL

synchronization speed is up to 1/8000s *.

*: 1/8000s is achievable when the camera has a max camera shutter speed of 1/8000s.

Attentions

1. Unable to trigger flash or camera shutter. Make sure batteries are installed

correctly and Power Switch is turned on. Check if the transmitter and the receiver are set to the same channel, if the hotshoe mount or connection cable is well connected, or if the flash triggers are set to the correct mode.

2. Camera shoots but does not focus. Check if the focus mode of the camera or lens

is set to M

change them.

The Reason & Solution of Not Triggering in PIXAPRO 2.4G Wireless

1. Disturbed by the 2.4G signal in outer environment (e.g. wireless base station, 2.4G wifi router, Bluetooth, etc.)

→ To adjust the channel CH setting on the flash trigger (add 10+ channels) and

use the channel which is not disturbed. Or turn off the other 2.4G equipment in working.

2. Please make sure that whether the flash has finished its recycle or caught up with the continuous shooting speed or not(the flash ready indicator is lighten) and the flash is not under the state of over-heat protection or other abnormal situation.

→ Please downgrade the flash power output. If the flash is in TTL mode, please try

to change it to M mode(a preflash is needed in TTL mode).

3. Whether the distance between the flash trigger and the flash is too close or not

→ Please turn on the “close distance wireless mode” on the flash trigger (＜0.5m): → Please set the C.Fn-DIST to 0-30m.

4. Whether the flash trigger and the receiver end equipment are in the low battery states or not

→ Please replace the battery(the flash trigger is recommended to use 1.5V

disposable alkaline battery).

Caring for Flash Trigger

Avoid sudden drops. The device may fail to work after strong shocks, impacts, or excess stress. Keep dry. The product isn’t water-proof. Malfunction, rust, and corrosion may occur and go beyond repair if soaked in water or exposed to high humidity. Avoid sudden temperature changes. Condensation happens if sudden temperature changes such as the circumstance when taking the transceiver out of a building with higher temperature to outside in winter. Please put the transceiver in a handbag or plastic bag beforehand. Keep away from strong magnetic field. The strong static or magnetic field produced by devices such as radio transmitters leads to malfunction.
