Automatic PowerTracking
When Automatic PowerTracking is engaged, any changes to aperture and ISO on your camera are automatically
trackedbyyourremoteashoutputpowertomaintainthecurrentexposurelevel.Forexample,ifyouopentheaperture
onyourcamerabyonestop,thenthepoweroutputlevelonyourremoteashwilldecreasebyonestop.
To engage Automatic PowerTracking when you are not using an AC3 ZoneController, set the PowerTracking mode to
a setting other than Full Manual. This is done in the PocketWizard Utility for your transmitting ControlTL radio only.
PowerTracking has several modes of operation available. See the PocketWizard Utility section on adjusting this setting
via the PowerTracking Tab for more information.
The following directions are for the PowerTracking mode Center on ISO & Aperture with First Shot.

section for more information.
To set the aperture and ISO values that will be aligned with the ControlTL center point:
1. Turn on your camera and transmitting MiniTT1 or FlexTT5, but wait to press your shutter button or take any pictures.
2. Set the aperture and ISO you wish to align with the center point. Set the shutter speed as desired, however changes
to shutter speed will not affect PowerTracking.
3. Press the shutter button to take a picture. The center point is now aligned with your aperture and ISO settings.
4. Use your camera’s FEC control to get the exposure the way you want it. If you are unable to achieve the exposure
you want using this control, try adjusting the Flash Exposure Compensation control in the PocketWizard Utility for
each PowerMC2, use a different aperture or ISO, or consider an AC3 ZoneController.
