Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Westcott FJ200 Strobe. The FJ200 is the perfect companion to the
growing family of FJ series of wireless communication products; FJ400 Strobe, FJ80 Touchscreen
Speedlight, FJ-X2m Wireless Trigger & FJ-XR Wireless Receiver (all sold separately). The FJ200’s
multi-brand camera compatibility, extended flash tube, and round head make it the ideal compact strobe
for practically any occasion. We know that you’re going to love it!
The FJ200’s flash tube’s placement provides a more natural light output mimicking the big light in the sky
leading to more appealing catchlights in your subject’s eyes. It also evenly fills up cylindrical modifiers
from the center to the edge. The concept of a square peg and a round hole has never been ideal, so why
settle for that in your photography? Not to mention, it’s equipped with virtually the same features and
functionality as the FJ400, so the FJ200’s there when you need a strobe that’s a little more compact for
those on-location shoots.
One last thing and this is the important one. Don’t forget that Westcott HQ is based in Maumee, OH and
our team’s available to answer your questions, Monday-Friday 9am-5pm ET. We also have a community
of Westcott loyal users who are ready to share their tips-and-tricks via the Westcott Lighting Community
on Facebook during the week or on the weekend.
We hope you’re excited to get started with your new strobe because we’re excited to see what you
create.
Thank you for your business.
-Team Westcott

Important things to know before starting…
Reviewing Firmware Files
Firmware updates will be made available on the FJ200 product page (https://www.westcott.com/4740)
to improve the performance of the FJ Wireless System. Please review ALL documentation that’s included
with each firmware download to ensure all of the necessary steps for preparation are complete before
installing the firmware.
TTL ±3 Flash Exposure Compensation
±3 TTL Flash Exposure Compensation (FEC) on the FJ-X2m Wireless Trigger or FJ80 Universal
Speedlight is independent of the Flash Exposure Compensation (FEC) on the FJ200 Strobe. Meaning, a
change of the FEC ±3 on the FJ-X2m or FJ80 will adjust the light output in TTL mode, however, the
FJ200 screen will not indicate the FEC changes made on the FJ-X2m or FJ80. The FJ200 FEC can be
further adjusted ±3 on the light directly.
Canon Continuous Mode
When photographing in Canon Continuous Mode, two overlapping-squares will be visible on the FJ-X2m
& FJ200 displays and the FJ Wireless System will default to Manual Mode; disabling TTL and HSS
functionality. Exit Continuous Mode on the Canon camera to resume TTL and HSS functionality.
Flashes Per Charge
The FJ200 was designed to achieve 450+ full-power flashes with every battery charge. Achieving this
requires that the screen intensity be set to MIN in the Settings Menu.

Dual-Stage Heat Protection System
The FJ200 is equipped with a self-monitoring system ensuring safe operation during continued
full-power use during a short timeframe. The monitoring system provides a staged automatic shutoff
scenario;
●Stage 1: Once the strobe reaches an internal operating temperature of 131°F (55°C) the screen will
display a red [Bulb Icon] and the recycle time will increase to 2 seconds in effort to cool the unit
while allowing for further operation.
●Stage 2: Once the strobe reaches an internal operating temperature of 167°F (75°C) the screen
will display a red [OH] icon and the unit will be inoperable for an estimated 10 minutes until an
adequate internal temperature has been reached to continue operation.
●Once the unit has cooled, the [OH] will disappear from the screen and it will then be safe to
continue operation.

FJ200 Battery: Performance and Care
FJ200 Battery Performance
The FJ200 Lithium-Polymer Battery (14.8V 37Wh, 2500mAh) is capable of 450+ full-power flashes with
the modeling lamp disabled and screen brightness set to MIN.
FJ200 Charging & Life Expectancy
The average charge time is 2 hours from complete discharge. The FJ200 Lithium-Polymer Battery (14.8V
37Wh, 2500mAh) will achieve at least 300 complete charge cycles (@80% after 300). Continued usage
beyond the expected charge cycles will result in diminished performance and the ability to hold a
charge. Avoid charging and using the battery outside of the stated operating temperatures 50~113°F /
10~45°C as it will affect the overall performance of the battery and strobe. Preserve the battery’s
longevity by storing at roughly ~40% capacity at room temperature in a dry environment and recharge to
this capacity at least every three months when not being used.
