Foreword
Thanks for your purchase of this X1C TTL wireless flash trigger.
This TTL wireless flash trigger can be used with a transmitter and one or more receivers for
studio flash, speedlite, and camera shutter. 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 X1C wireless flash trigger, high speed synchronization is available for most of camera
flashes in the market which support E-TTL II. The max flash synchronization speed is up to
1/8000s *.
*: 1/8000s is achievable when the camera has a max camera shutter speed of 1/8000s. 1/8000s is not
achievable because some models of Canon EOS cameras have a max camera shutter speed of only 1/4000s.
