Setting
When the YN622N II using master control mode(refet to
p15) , the manual output values of the master unit and
manual output value of YN622N II convert as below:
Manual Flash Output Control(remote control mode)
YN622N II provides a general way of manual control of
the flash output . For the same manual flash output values
of YN622N II, even using different GN of the flash, the
output is the same (in case not exceed the effective range
of the flash).
The minimum manual flash output value of YN622N II is
1, the maximum flash output according to different GN of
the flash, the default value is 8, add 1/3 step is 10.4, add 1
step is 16, and so on. The value of YN622N II is proportional,
when the value A is twice as B, the flash output of the
former is half of the latter, refer to the form below.

7.Flash Shutter Sync:
Refer to the camera’s setting. Supports front-curtain
sync, rear-curtain sync and high speed synchronous
(HSS/Auto FP*).
*Using high-speed synchronization need to set the flash
sync speed of the camera to AUTO FP.
*The maximum high-speed synchronization speed is
1/8000s or 1/4000s (depends on the camera).
*Some models of camera does not support the HSS
(without Auto FP option), the shutter speed will be
limited to 1/250s or less when using this kind of camera.
※ It need to using single AF of the camera.
※Both the receiver and the off-camera flash on the
receiver will not be emitted.
8.AF Assist Beam Emitter
When using AF under low-light, the
built-in AF-assist beam emitter of the
transmitter will be emitted automatically
to make it easier to autofocus, and the

groups through additional
purchase transceiver.
Usage
2 Transceiver kit packages
Use 1 off-camera flash or 1 off-
camera flash + 1 on-top flash.
2.Mix Control Mode
Supports the use of flash on
the transmitter or the receiver
works at the same time in
different flash modes include i-
TTL, Manual, RPT flash.
1.Remote Control Mode:
Set the flash(receiver) to i-
TTL flash mode, the flash will
fire according to the flash mode
and parameters set by the
t r a n s m i t t e r , s u p p o r t i-
TTL/Manual Flash. ( P9-11)
Set the flash on the receiver to Manual or RPT flash mode,
the flash will work according to the mode and parameters
displayed; Set to i-TTL flash mode, it will work according to
the transmitter’s setting(same to the remote control
mode), the on-top flash refer to p15.

3.Set the flash mode and parameter on the master
unit of each group (refer to the manufacturer's
usermanual ). It will communicate via the YN-
622N II transceiver's channel.
4.Use the test button of the transmitter to test flash and
shoot, the flash fires.
※The master unit set on the on-top of the transmitter
will not transmit infrared commands.
1.Turn on the master unit
and set to MASTER
(commander mode), then
turn on the transmitter.
2.Set the receiver group,
turn on the flash(Do not
set to remote), and set to
i-TTL flash mode.
Usage
3.Master Control Mode& On-top flash.
1.Power on of the on-top flash: First turn on the on-
top flash, then turn on the transmitter.
2.The on-top flash use non master control model:

parameters, support i-TTL, Manual flash.

PC Port Triggering (Support Super Sync *)
Caution! Do not connect to the PC
port any flash requiring trigger
voltage more than 300V, or the
transceiver may be damaged.
Purchase corresponding PC flash sync cord according to
the different ports of the flashes needs .
1. Use an end of PC sync cord with nut to connect to the receiver.
2. The other end of the PC sync cord connects to strobe flashes
or other flashes which supporting PC port.
3. Set the camera's shutter sync as front-curtain or rear-curtain.
4. Adjust shooting parameters and shoot.
* Super sync: Use the non-high speed sync flash to realize
higher sync speed, this function is more applicable to strobe
flashes whose flash duration is longer, and it is for the camera
which support Auto FP only.
1. Connect the receiver to flash via PC port and it may needs
setting at manual full-power flash output (1/1).
2 . Set the flash sync speed of the camera as AUTO FP, the
maximum shutter sync speeds can reach to 1/8000s. Take
photos and check whether the photos are synchronous , it
may see gradations or variations in the photos, results
depend on the camera and flash.
※ The PC port is for output using only.
※ Flashes on the hot shoe and connecting to the PC port
can be used at the same time.
