Review this page for information about the Canon 1D Mark IV and its performance with PocketWizard radios.


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.


Camera-Specific Operational Considerations

Manually Select Camera Model

For best results please manually select "1D Mark IV" as your Camera Model using the PocketWizard Utility. This selection is available under the "Misc" tab. If the Camera Model is left to "Auto Detect" you may experience shutter clipping, particularly at the fastest HSS speeds.


HyperSync Performance

Use the grid below to view the 1D Mark IV's HyperSync performance with a specific flash. Find your desired light in the left-hand column and select either "Highest Energy" or "Reduced Clipping" to download a PDF of the results.

Elinchrom

Ranger RX S-Head Highest Energy Reduced Clipping

AlienBees

AlienBees B1600 Highest Energy Reduced Clipping

NOTE: All of the images contained in this table were captured using a MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 transmitter and a ControlTL receiver (such as the FlexTT5 with AC9 Adapter, PowerST4, or PowerMC2).
