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.

T1i Specific Operational Considerations

The following operational considerations apply only to the T1i.

Camera Firmware

For best results, use the latest camera body firmware. The latest firmware for the T1i is Version 1.1.1, available for download at Canon U.S.A. Support & Drivers.
