FAQs
Can I use the AD400 Pro with my Sony camera?
Yes, the AD400 Pro supports TTL functionality for Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Olympus, and Panasonic systems when paired with a compatible Godox transmitter.
How long does a full battery charge take?
While charging times vary by conditions, the lithium-ion battery is designed to provide efficient power throughout the day. Always use the original charger for optimal performance.
Does this flash support HSS?
Yes, it supports high-speed sync up to 1/8000s, making it ideal for outdoor portraiture in bright light.
Can I operate this flash while it is plugged into AC power?
The AD400 Pro is designed primarily as a battery-powered unit. Please refer to the specific adapter compatibility if you wish to use AC power.
Is the modeling lamp powerful enough for video?
The 30W LED is excellent for visualizing lighting in still photography; while it provides constant light, it is not intended as a primary high-output light for professional video production.
Troubleshooting
Flash not firing when shutter is released
Check that the wireless trigger and the flash are on the same channel and ID. Ensure the trigger is fully seated in your camera's hot shoe.
Slow recycle times
Ensure the battery is fully charged. If the unit has been firing at high output for a long duration, allow it a few minutes to cool down.
TTL exposure is inconsistent
Ensure the flash head is pointed directly at the subject and that no obstructions are blocking the signal. Clean the sensor window if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure your camera's flash settings are configured to correspond with the AD400 Pro's wireless channel (up to 32 channels available). Attach the unit to a sturdy light stand using the included mount, and secure the lithium-ion battery by sliding it into the rear housing until it clicks. When transporting, always remove the battery to prevent accidental activation. Regularly clean the flash tube with a soft, dry cloth and avoid touching the glass with bare fingers to prevent oil buildup, which can cause overheating. Ensure you only use the provided voltage-rated charging equipment to maintain battery health over the long term.
