How to Maximize FJ400 Battery FlashesUpdated 20 days ago

To get the most out of your FJ400 and ensure you're capturing every moment, consider these key factors that can enhance your available flash quantities:

Start with a Fully Charged Battery

Begin your shoot with a fully charged battery. This not only optimizes performance but also provides peace of mind during critical moments.

Lower Power Levels

Reducing the power level is a practical way to extend the number of available flashes and increase the recycle rate. This adjustment can help you maintain consistent lighting without running out of power too quickly.

Minimize Using the Modeling Light

While the modeling light serves to provide balanced output and is efficient, its usage can still consume power. Limiting its activation helps maximize the total number of flashes you can achieve and also lowers the possibility of overheating.

Use "Normal" Sync

For the greatest number of flashes, opt for “Normal” sync mode. This setting ensures that your flashes fire at optimal intervals, enhancing your shooting efficiency.

Utilize AC Power

Whenever possible, connect the FJ400 to an AC adapter. This setup allows you to charge the battery while using the unit, ensuring you have continuous power throughout your sessions.
