Review this page for information about the Canon 5D Mark II and its performance with PocketWizard radios.
Contents
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.
Einstein
| Flash Model | Radio Configuration | HyperSync Automation Selection | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Einstein 640 | Instructions Page | Highest Energy PDF | Reduced Clipping PDF |
Elinchrom
| Ranger RX S-Head | Highest Energy | Reduced Clipping |
| Ranger RX A-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).
