Calculating the Shutter Speed
During stroboscopic flash, the shutter remains open until the firing
stops. Use the formula below to calculate the shutter speed and set
it with the camera.
For example, if the number of flashes is 10 and the firing frequency is
5 Hz, the shutter speed should be at least 2 seconds.
Number of Flashes / Flash Frequency = Shutter Speed
To avoid overheating and deteriorating the flash head, do not
use stroboscopic flash more than 10 times in succession.
After 10 times, allow the camera flash to rest for at least 15
minutes. If you try to use the stroboscopic flash more than 10
times in succession, the firing might stop automatically to
protect the flash head. If this happens, allow at least 15
minutes’ rest for the camera flash.
● Stroboscopic flash is most effective with a highly reflective
subject against a dark background.
● Using a tripod and a remote control is recommended.
● A flash output of 1/1 and 1/2 cannot be set for stroboscopic
flash.
● Stroboscopic flash can be used with“buLb”.
● If the number of flashes is displayed as “--”, the firing will
continue until the shutter closes or the battery is
exhausted. The number of flashes will be limited as shown
by the following table.

Wireless Control Function
The flash unit is built in with a Wireless Control Port so that you can
wirelessly adjust the power level of the flash and the
flash triggering.
To control the flash wirelessly, you need a FT-16S
remote control set (on-camera and on-flash). Insert its
receive end into the Wireless Control Port on the flash
and insert the transmit end into the camera hot shoe.
Settings made on the hotshoe-mounted
transmit and receive ends will be wirelessly
communicated to the flash. Then
you can press the camera
shutter release button to
trigger the flash. You can also
hold the transmit end at hand
to control your off-camera flash.
For full instructions on the use of FT series remote control, see its user
manual.
Sync Triggering
The Sync Cord Jack is a Φ2.5mm plug. Insert a trigger plug here
and the flash will be fired synchronously with the camera shutter.
Auto Focus Assist Beam
In poorly-lit or low-contrast shooting environments, the built-in auto
focus assist beam will automatically light on to make it easier for
autofocus. The beam will light up only when autofocus is difficult
and get out as soon as the autofocus becomes correct.
If you want to turn off the auto focus assist beam, set the “AF” to
“OFF” on the C.Fn settings.
● If you find the auto focus assist beam does not light up, this
is because the camera has got a correct autofocus.
● The auto focus assist beam can only start up in the slow
shutter.

The Reason & Solution of Not Triggering in Godox 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):
X1 series: press the test button and hold on, then turning it on until the flash
ready indicator blinks for 2 times.
XPro series: 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).
