General Canon Operational Considerations
The following operational considerations apply to all Canon cameras unless otherwise noted.
Calibration Shot
With a Canon camera and ControlTL radios the first exposure after initial connection or power-on is the calibration shot. It is recommended that you take the calibration shot at 1/125. This initiates communication between the camera and radio. This shot will not fire remote flashes.
Manually Select Camera Model
For best results with a Canon camera and ControlTL radios, be sure to manually select your camera model on the transmitting radio. Camera model selection is found on the "Channel" tab.
HyperSync Performance
Use the grid below to view the 5D Mark II's HyperSync performance with a specific flash.
- First, find your desired flash model.
- Next, review the wiki page on Configuring HyperSync. Configure your radios accordingly.
- Next, choose the PDF that corresponds to the HyperSync Automation that you have selected for your radios. The PDFs contain images that illustrate the kind of performance you should expect with your setup.
