Warning
• Keep away from fire, water, and moisture. Do not submerge in water.
• Avoid drastic temperature changes before, during, and/or after use.
• Do not overtighten shoe lock wheel when mounting to camera.
• Ensure the FJ-X2m is securely mounted before use.

• The maximum operating temperature is 32-104°F (0-40°C).
An FJ-X2m Wireless Trigger is compatible with various brands of cameras to operate
the FJ400 strobe. Each camera manufacturer chooses a dierent approach to how
their cameras interact with o-camera lights. A few adjustments to your camera
settings are required for the FJ-X2m and FJ400 to properly perform with your
camera. Below are a few settings to check out first. We recommend referring your
camera’s user manual for details specific to your camera brand and model.
• Set Silent Shutter to OFF.
• Set E-Front Curtain to OFF.
• Set Wireless Mode to ON or OFF (camera brand/model dependent).
• Set Red-Eye Reduction to ON or OFF (camera brand/model dependent).
• Set Exposure Compensation to 0 (zero) in camera.
• Set White Balance to Daylight, 5500K, or Custom at 5500K (not Auto).
• Various camera models require you to set the Sync type (Front Curtain, Rear Curtain,
HSS) manually in the camera’s Flash Menu before the FJ-X2m Sync can be adjusted.
• Various camera models automatically adjust the Sync setting to HSS when HSS is
enabled in the camera settings and the native sync speed is exceeded.
• Ensure the camera’s battery level is above 25%.
• Ensure the camera contacts are clean and the FJ-X2m is seated properly and aligned.
