Factors Affecting FJ-X2m Trigger Battery Life & Flash CountUpdated 20 days ago

Proper battery management is essential for maximizing the performance of your FJ-X2m trigger. Following the right charging practices ensures reliable operation during shoots.

Understanding Battery Life

• How long can I expect the battery to last?

  • Even with all features enabled, you should expect thousands of triggerings from a single charge. However, certain advanced features may deplete the battery more quickly.
    
    

• Which features affect battery life?

  • Battery charge levels can be impacted by specific settings on the FJ-X2m and FJ400, including:
    • Selecting Canon RT camera settings
    • Having Bluetooth "ON"
    • Activating the FJ400 settings menu with M → TTL "ON"
      
      

How to Charge Your FJ-X2m Trigger

• What type of cable should I use?

  • The FJ-X2m should only be charged with the included USB-C to USB-A cord, connected to a USB-A port charger. This is crucial for optimal charging performance.
    
    

• What charge level is ideal for operation?

  • The FJ-X2m functions best with a battery charge level above one bar. Keeping the battery charged at this level or higher helps extend the number of charging cycles the internal battery can provide.
    
    

• When should I charge my trigger?

  • It’s best practice to fully charge the FJ-X2m in advance of an important assignment or a full day of studio work. This ensures you have sufficient power throughout your shoot.

By being mindful of these features, you can help maintain battery life and ensure reliable performance during your shoots.
