Top Factors Affecting Wireless CommunicationUpdated 20 days ago
The FJ-X3 triggers and the FJ400 strobe has extremely reliable communication. If you’re using the older FJ-X2m trigger and are having issues, consider the following:
Why is the FJ-X2m trigger is not connecting?
Your FJ-X2m trigger and FJ400 strobe might not connect for a few reasons:
- Channel and Group do not match
- Low battery in the camera or trigger
- Incorrect camera settings
- The trigger or adapter isn’t plugged in properly
- Too much wireless traffic on the current channel
How can I fix wireless traffic problems?
If wireless traffic is the issue, try changing the channels on both the trigger and strobe. Adjust the channel up or down by 5.
What’s the Auto channel feature? How do I use it?
The Auto channel feature helps find a less crowded channel. Here’s how to use it:
- Set both the FJ-X2m trigger and FJ400 strobe to channel "0."
- Press and hold the "CH" button on the trigger for about 3 seconds.
- The strobe will then show "AU" instead of "0."
After that, do a test shot to check the connection. Keep in mind that in busy areas, this feature might lead to frequent changes, which could cause misfires. Also, it does not work with Canon RT setups.
Can I get channel suggestions?
Yes! You can find recommended channels in the trigger’s menu by selecting "CH recommended." This helps you choose the best channels for a stable connection.
Should I upgrade to the FJ-X3 trigger?
If you often shoot in crowded areas, especially with 5G networks becoming more common, upgrading to the FJ-X3 trigger could be a good choice. It’s built with better connections over all especially in busy environments.
