FAQs

Do I need an adapter for my flash?

Yes, the cord has a female PC connector for the flash. If your flash has a male PC sync port, you will need an additional male-to-male PC sync cord adapter.

What is the length of the Sekonic Synchro Cord?

The cord is 5 meters (approximately 15 feet) long.

Will this cord work with any flash meter?

This cord is designed and compatible with all Sekonic Flash Meters. It may work with other brands if they use standard PC sync connections, but compatibility is guaranteed only with Sekonic meters.

How do I connect it to my camera?

One of the male PC connectors on the cord is designed to plug directly into your camera's PC sync terminal.

Can I use this for wireless flash?

No, this is a wired synchro cord and is intended for wired connections between your meter, camera, and flash unit.

What happens if the cord is damaged?

If the cord is damaged, it may lead to unreliable triggering or no triggering at all. It is recommended to replace a damaged cord to ensure accurate metering and photography.

Troubleshooting

Flash does not fire when meter triggers

Ensure all connections are secure at the meter, camera, and flash. Verify the female flash lead is properly connected (with adapter if needed). Check that the camera's sync port is active and the flash unit is powered on and set to sync.

Inconsistent flash trigger

Inspect the PC connectors for dirt or damage. Try cleaning the contacts. Ensure the cord is not stressed or bent sharply at the connection points.

Meter reading is inaccurate

Confirm the Synchro Cord is correctly plugged into the meter's sync input. Ensure the flash is properly synced with the meter via the cord.
