Equalize Screen
C: Equalize – ~/MENU A A C
Equalize Mode is a specialized delay mode for synchronizing multiple cameras to one
flash. This mode is designed to work with shutter speeds up to 1/125 on some
cameras, but there are many factors that could affect operation.
L Read the Camera Equalization section, Page 43 , before continuing.
Equalize mode is designed to be used with at least 3 MultiMAX units (set in RECEIVE
mode). Two or more MultiMAX units will be attached to cameras and one MultiMAX
will be attached to a flash unit. A MultiMAX or other PocketWizard TRANSMITTER
will be used to trigger the system.
1. Place a MultiMAX (set to RECEIVE mode) on the camera hot shoe or attach
cable from camera’s PC terminal to PORT 1
2. Attach cable from PORT 2 to camera’s motor drive. If available, use a
Pre-Trigger cable (more information in the Camera Equalization section).
3. If the Equalize Screen is not displayed then
press ~/MENU A A A from the main screen to
enter Equalize Mode. This enters the numeric
entry screen and 0.1500 seconds are displayed
4. Press the L key. The camera should trigger and
a lag time (camera triggering delay) will be
measured and displayed. Press L every few
seconds for 5 to 15 exposures until you see the
fastest lag time (lowest number displayed) for
the camera
5. Press the ~/MENU key to return to the main
screen. A delay value will be displayed. This number is a calculated number
and will differ from the lag time you saw on the previous screen
6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 for each camera to be equalized. Use one MultiMAX
(set for RECEIVE mode) per camera.
7. Attach a MultiMAX (set for RECEIVE mode) to a flash unit.
8. From the main screen press ~/MENU A A C. When the numeric entry screen
appears with 0.1500 displayed, simply press ~/MENU to return to the main
screen. Do not adjust the number and do NOT press L. The main screen will
show a delay of 0.1500
9. Press TEST on any PocketW izard Transmitter to trigger this equalized system
