 for Canon

340 – 354 MHz, US FCC/IC

™

All equipment should be turned OFF 
when making connections. Unwanted 
triggering may occur. 

First exposure after making initial 
connections/powering on may not
be properly exposed. First shot is
a camera calibrations shot. Always 
test twice.

Review product manuals for your
camera/flash system. For most 
basic functions when using Canon’s 
system or PocketWizard’s, operation 
is identical.

You may use a FlexTT5 as a
transmitter instead of a MiniTT1 in
all scenarios. 

Make sure all PocketWizard 
units are set to same
PocketWizard Channel.
PocketWizard Channel is used 
instead of Canon channel.
See LEARN Mode section.

1. Slide MiniTT1 Transmitter onto camera.
2. Slide remote Speedlite onto FlexTT5 Transceiver. Repeat for each remote Speedlite.
  All remote E-TTL flashes will be treated as one zone of light.
3. Make sure all your PocketWizard units are on the same Channel and trigger normally.

This mode is like using Canon ST-E2 (non-ratio mode) or 580EX (I or II, master mode, 
main flash off, non-ratio) in camera shoe.

1. Slide MiniTT1 Transmitter onto camera.
2. Slide Canon 580EX Speedlite onto MiniTT1 unit. Set for MASTER = ON.  
3. Slide remote Speedlite onto FlexTT5 Transceiver. Repeat for each remote Speedlite.  
  All remote E-TTL flashes will be treated as one zone of light.
4. Make sure all your PocketWizard units are on the same Channel and trigger normally.

00

1. Slide MiniTT1 Transmitter onto camera.
2. Slide Canon 580EX Speedlite onto MiniTT1 unit. Set for MASTER = ON. Enable Zones
  per flash instructions. Canon Speedlite Transmitter ST-E2 may also be used.
3. Set remote FlexTT5 unit to desired Canon Ratio Zone (A, B, C) using FlexTT5 Zone Switch.
4. Slide remote Speedlite onto FlexTT5 Transceiver. Set for regular E-TTL mode (not SLAVE
  or MASTER). Repeat for each remote Speedlite. All remote E-TTL flashes on same
  FlexTT5 Zone will be treated as one zone of light.
5. Adjust ratios using MASTER Speedlite flash controls.
6. Make sure all your PocketWizard units are on the same Channel and trigger normally.

Setting Canon E-TTL to normal flash (WIRELESS = OFF) when in shoe of MiniTT1 will
disable all remote flash. This operation mirrors Canon functionality.

IMPORTANT:

 Canon flash units set to SLAVE = ON and connected to FlexTT5 units will have

slave mode automatically turned off, but will still function as slaves correctly. Set desired 
Canon Ratio Zone via remote FlexTT5 Zone Switch. PocketWizard Channel is used instead of
Canon channel.

ISO, aperture, flash exposure compensation (FEC), and other settings will track exposure
normally when E-TTL via the PocketWizard ControlTL system.
