Troubleshooting

Transmitter not communicating with flashes

Ensure the transmitter and flashes are powered on and set to the same channel and group. Check battery levels on both devices. Move closer to the flashes or remove potential sources of interference.

Inconsistent flash output in TTL mode

Verify that the camera's TTL metering mode is appropriate for the scene. Ensure there are no strong ambient light sources overwhelming the flash. Check for firmware updates for both the transmitter and flashes.

HSS/Hi-Sync not engaging

Confirm that your camera's shutter speed is set above the camera's native sync speed. Ensure HSS/Hi-Sync is enabled on the transmitter and supported by your Elinchrom flashes. Check the sync speed limit set within the transmitter's menu.

Colour display is dim or unresponsive

Check the display brightness settings within the transmitter's menu. If the issue persists, try resetting the transmitter to factory defaults. Contact customer support if the problem continues.
