A = triggered with flash
confirmation
B = next zone to be triggered
The following chart is a starting point for calculating how the number of flashes or pops
affects F-stops. Since every flash unit is different, use a light meter or other method
for more precise calculations.
Number of Pops Stops Number of Pops Stops
1 Add 0 stops 6 Add 2.5 stops
2 Add 1 stop 8 Add 3 stops
3 Add 1.5 stops 12 Add 3.5 stops
4 Add 2 stops 16 Add 4 stops
N Contact time is affected by Multipop mode. If the contact time is set greater than
the Multipop interval, the contact time will automatically be set to interval time MINUS
0.01 seconds. This means that a remote camera or flash will remain triggered with
only a 1/100 second release between contacts. This short released time may not be
long enough to re-trigger some cameras or flash units. If this is the case, set the
contact time lower.
D: SpeedCycler - TRANSMITTER~/MENU A D
Enables SpeedCycler mode. Use this mode to rapidly
cycle through remote flash units and trigger faster than
a single flash can recycle by using multiple flash units.
It can also be used for triggering remote cameras
sequentially.
This mode only works with Quad Triggering channels
(17 and higher) and two or more MAX or MultiMAX
units (set for RECEIVE mode).
1. From the main screen press ~/MENU A D to
enable SpeedCycler mode on a MultiMAX (set for TRANSMIT mode)
2. Enable two or more remote zones
3. Set each MultiMAX (set for RECEIVE mode) to a different zone
4. Trigger the MultiMAX (set for TRANSMIT mode). The first trigger will fire the
first zone selected, the second trigger will fire the next zone selected. The
display indicates the next zone to trigger with an arrow. Only the zone just
triggered will display proper confirmation
N If L is selected then PORT 2 on the MultiMAX (set for TRANSMIT mode) will
trigger every time and is not cycled. It will be in sync with each cycled zone.
