Optical Triggering: FJ200Updated 2 months ago
The FJ200 features an optical sensor that allows it to be triggered remotely by another flash or strobe unit fired nearby.
This sensor is located just above the LCD screen on the back face.
It’s important to know the location of the optical sensors as they need line of sight of the triggering flash. It is only available when units are set to Manual mode, as TTL and HSS data cannot be transmitted.
Enabling optical triggering with the FJ200
- Enter Settings Menu: Press in on the control dial/select button.
- Enable Optical Sensor: Navigate down until you see the “Optical” setting. Press in on the control dial to select it, and rotate the dial to change “OFF” to “ON”. Press in on the control dial again to confirm your selection.
- Exit The Menu: Press the modeling lamp/return button to exit the menu.
With the optical sensor activated, units will fire simultaneously with an initial flash from any make or model, provided the flash output is sufficient and the sensor detects the signal.
- FJ200 Resuming Normal Function: When you revert the “Optical” setting to “OFF” you must also re-enable “TTL-ALL” in the “Wireless” setting to resume normal wireless flash functionality.
