New Features Available via the PocketWizard Utility
Basic Trigger Mode - Found under Misc Tab
Allows the MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 to operate as a basic PocketWizard radio slave on any camera it will fit, including cameras other
than the Canon models the radio is designed for. This mode only uses the center hot shoe contact for sync input. It does not use
any of the E-TTL II communication pins.
Caution! If you are using a compatible Canon camera it is highly recommended that you do not enable this option.
Caution! Due to the Canon-specific layout of the pins on the bottom shoe, the MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 are not guaranteed to slide
onto every camera’s hot shoe. Do not force the units onto your camera. Slide gently.

The receiving FlexTT5 just needs to be set to receive on a Standard Channel. The only time you would need to set a
remote FlexTT5 to Basic Trigger Mode is if you are deploying it to trigger a remote non-Canon camera in Auto-Relay
Mode.

the MiniTT1 sleeps when the camera sleeps based on data it receives from the camera on the E-TTL communication
pins. Since those pins are deactivated in this mode, the MiniTT1 never sleeps. Expected battery life is 100+ hours.
FlexTT5 battery life will remain unchanged at ~60 hours.

of a second) from the time X-sync is received until the remote flash begins generating light (radio propagation delay).
Some cameras and flash combinations will tolerate this delay and achieve X-sync normally. Some will not. On those
cameras you may need to reduce your shutter speed to something slower than X-sync to eliminate black lines in your
images. Shortening your flash duration may also help.

Transmitter Only Mode (FlexTT5 Only) - Found under Misc Tab
Allows the FlexTT5 to be used as a Transmitter only just like the MiniTT1. This mode allows a photographer to work in the same
area as other photographers, and share remote flashes, without the flash on top of the FlexTT5 being triggered by the other
photographers. When this mode is engaged, the FlexTT5 will not respond to any triggers from another MiniTT1 or FlexTT5
acting as a Transmitter.
High Speed Sync (FP Flash Sync) Disable Mode - Found under Sync Timing Tab
This new mode allows you to select *either* High Speed Sync (HSS or FP Flash) from 1/640 through 1/8000 *or* HyperSync
from 1/640 through 1/8000. HyperSync will still operate from 1/250 through 1/500. Default is to have this box unchecked to
allow seamless operation of HSS.
Normally, the MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 uses HyperSync from 1/250 - 1/500, then switches to HSS at 1/640. When HSS/FP is
automatically engaged in this fashion, Standard Channel triggers are disabled at 1/640 and higher shutter speeds.
When using this feature, HSS/FP is never engaged and Standard Channel triggers are used throughout the entire range of
shutter speeds by using HyperSync per this table:
1/200 and slower HyperSync not used
1/250 through 1/350 Auto-calculated HyperSync offset used
1/400 through 1/8000 Full HyperSync offset used
