Flash Mode — i-TTL Autoflash
This flash has three flash modes: i-TTL, Manual (M), and Multi (Stroboscopic). In i-TTL mode, the camera and the
flash will work together to calculate the correct exposure for the subject and the background. In this mode, multiple
TTL functions are available: FEC, HSS, second curtain sync, modeling flash, etc.
* Press <MODE> Mode Selection Button and three flash modes will display on the LCD panel one by one with each
pressing.

Flash Mode — M: Manual Flash
With stroboscopic flash, a rapid series of flashes is fired. It can be used to capture a multiple images of a moving
subject in a single photograph.
You can set the firing frequency (number of flashes per sec. expressed as Hz), the number of flashes, and the flash
output.
Press <MODE> button so that
1<RPT> is displayed.
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.
Number of Flashes / Flash Frequency = Shutter Speed
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.
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 Flash Shooting: Radio (2.4G) Transmission
Using a flash (master/slave) with a radio transmission wireless shooting function make it easy to shoot with
advanced wireless multiple flash lighting, in the same way as i-TTL autoflash shooting.
The basic relative position and operation range are as shown in the picture. You can then perform wireless i-TTL
autoflash shooting just by setting the master unit to <TTL>.
AD360II-N adopts Godox 2.4G wireless X system, which can be used in combination with other products in our
factory.
As a slave unit, AD360II-N is compatible with Canon E-TTL II and Nikon i-TTL systems. It will automatically change
its system according to the master unit instead of setting by manual. Once received the master unit’s signal,
"Canon" or "Nikon" is displayed the LCD panel.
Nikon cameras (use X1T-N, TT685N, etc) and Canon cameras (use X1T-C, TT685C, etc) can use one or more
AD360II-N flashes simultaneously.
* As master unit, AD360II-N can control the following slave units: AD360II-C, AD360II-N, TT685N, X1R-N, TT600, etc.
* As slave unit, AD360II-N can be controlled by the following master units: AD360II-C, AD360II-N, TT685C, TT685N,
X1T-C, X1T-N, TT600, etc.
To use the flash with 2.4G wireless shooting functions (master/slave), use the same setting method as i-TTL autoflash.
The positioning and operation range can be found in the following pictures. Set the master unit as <i-TTL> mode to
wirelessly fire flashes.
Positioning and Operation Range (Example of wireless flash shooting)
● Autoflash Shooting with One Slave Unit
● Use the supplied mini stand to position the slave unit.
● Before shooting, perform a test flash and test shooting.
● The transmission distance might be shorter depending on the conditions such as positioning of slave
units, the surrounding environment and whether conditions.
Transmission distance is about 70m
Wireless shooting using radio transmission has advantages over wireless shooting using optic transmission, such
as being less affected by obstacles, and not having to point the slave unit's wireless sensor toward the master unit.
The main functional differences are as follows:
Wireless Flash Shooting: Radio (2.4G) Transmission
Wireless Multiple Flash Shooting
You can divide the slave units into two or three groups and perform i-TTL autoflash while changing the flash ratio
(factor). In addition, you can set and shoot with a different flash mode for each firing group, for up to 5 groups.

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

- 45 - - 46 -
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-16 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.
Modeling Flash
If the camera has a depth-of-field preview button, pressing it will fire the flash continuously for 1 second. This is
called modeling flash.
It enables you to see the shadow effects on the subject and the lighting balance. You can fire the modeling flash
during wireless or normal flash shooting.
To avoid overheating and deteriorating the flash head, do not fire the modeling flash for more than 10 consecutive times. If
you fire the modeling flash 10 consecutive times, allow at least 10 minutes’ break for the camera flash.
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.
Other Applications
Assist Beam Setting
The flash has two ways to light on the assist beam: auto focus (AF) and manual focus (MF). Press Function Button
1 (MF/C.Fn) to choose.
Auto focus (AF): The assist beam is lighted on by camera.
Manual focus (MF): The assist beam is lighted on manually.
Turn off the assist beam: Set "AF" to OFF on the C.Fn menu, and the assist beam will be turned off.

Bounce Flash
By pointing the flash head toward a wall or ceiling, the
flash will bounce off the surface before illuminating the
subject. This can soften shadows behind the subject for a
more natural-looking shot. This is called bounce flash.
To set the bounce direction, hold the flash head and
turn it to a satisfying angle.
0-270
-15-90
● If the wall or the ceiling is too far away, the bounced
flash might be too weak and result in
underexposure.
● The wall or the ceiling should be a plain, white color
for high reluctance. If the bounce surface is not
white, a color cast may appear in the picture.
Sync Triggering
The Sync Cord Jack is a Φ3.5mm plug. Insert a trigger plug here and the flash will be fired synchronously with the
camera shutter.
PC Sync Socket Triggering
Use remote cable to connect the camera and the AD360II-N through its PC sync socket, and the flash will be fired
synchronously with the camera shutter.

1. Over-Temperature Protection
● To avoid overheating and deteriorating the flash head, do not fire more than 75 continuous flashes in fast
succession at 1/1 full power. After 30 continuous flashes, allow a rest time of at least 75 minutes.
● If you fire more than 75 continuous flashes and then fire more flashes in short intervals, the inner over-
temperature protection function may be activated and make the recycling time over 10 seconds. If this occurs,
allow a rest time of about 10 minutes, and the flash unit will then return to normal.
● When the over-temperature protection is started, is shown on the LCD display.
