Using the FJ-T1 TriggerUpdated 2 days ago

Setup and Compatibility

What cameras does the Westcott FJ-T1 trigger work with, and what settings should I change first?

The FJ-T1 is available in Multi-Brand and dedicated Sony versions. Choose the model that matches your camera and workflow.

  • FJ-T1M is designed for multi camera use.
  • FJ-T1S is made for full Sony camera compatibility.

Before your first FJ Wireless trigger setup, review these camera-dependent settings:

  • Turn the silent shutter off when required by your camera.
  • Turn the electronic front curtain shutter off if your camera setup allows for it.
  • Turn Wireless Flash mode off on Sony-specific camera setups.
  • Turn red-eye reduction off to help prevent flash timing issues.
