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.
Camera Firmware
For best results, use the latest camera body firmware. The latest firmware for the 1D Mark IV is Version 1.1.3, available for download at Canon U.S.A. Support & Drivers.
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.
