Nikon D5300

Review this page for information about the Nikon D5300 and its performance with PocketWizard radios.

D5300 Specific Operational Considerations

The following operational considerations apply only to the D5300.

Frame Clipping

Some clipping may occur at fast Rear Curtain Sync capable shutter speeds, for example 1/125, if a MASTER Speedlight is in use on-camera and all 3 remote zones are engaged. This will not occur when using an AC3 ZoneController.

Clipping can also occur at faster HSS shutter speeds if you use a MASTER flash in the top shoe of your on-camera MiniTT1 or FlexTT5, and have the flash set to non-MASTER Mode. To eliminate this clipping, keep the flash in MASTER mode and deselect the zones rather than taking the flash out of MASTER mode.

No HSS/Auto FP-Sync

This camera does not support HSS/Auto FP-Sync operation. It also does not support HyperSync.

Nikon Special Notes

The following special notes apply to all Nikon cameras.

FV Lock

FV Lock is not currently supported with PocketWizard radios.

Unsupported Modes

• Mirror Up mode is not fully supported at this time – test with your specific configuration before using.
• Exposure Delay mode (set via in-camera menu) is not currently supported.
• Repeater/RPT mode is not currently supported.

In-Camera Flash Control

Using in-camera “Flash Control for Built In Flash” menu to control remote zones is not currently supported.

Rear-Curtain Sync and Bulb

Rear Curtain Sync and Bulb mode cannot be used together. For more information, visit our Rear Curtain Sync page.

Remote Infrared Control

ControlTL radios disable ALL infra-red/optical communication pulses used in Nikon’s native i-TTL system, and will not trigger remote flashes configured to receive these pulses. A PocketWizard radio is required for each remote flash you want to trigger.
