3.1 Grundlegende Blitzmodi
The Xpro-C supports various flash modes:
- TTL-Autoblitz: Passt die Blitzleistung automatisch an, um die korrekte Belichtung zu gewährleisten.
- Manueller Blitz: Ermöglicht die manuelle Steuerung der Blitzleistung.
- Mehrfachblitz (Stroboskop): Feuert während einer einzigen Belichtung eine Reihe schneller Blitze ab.
- Hochgeschwindigkeitssynchronisierung (HSS): Enables flash synchronization at shutter speeds faster than the camera's native sync speed, up to 1/8000s.

3.2 TCM-Transformationsfunktion
The TCM (TTL Convert Manual) function allows you to convert a TTL flash value into a manual power output. This is useful for quickly setting a baseline manual power after a TTL shot.
- Langes Drücken der TCM-Taste: Transforms the TTL shooting value into the output value in M mode.
- Kurz drücken: TCM-Taste Wechselt zwischen Einzelgruppen- und Mehrgruppenanzeigemodus.
3.3 Group Control and Zooming
The Xpro-C features 5 dedicated group buttons (A, B, C, D, E) for easy control of individual flash groups. You can adjust each group's output value simultaneously.
- Gruppenmodellierung Lamp Kontrolle: Steuern Sie die Modellierung lamp of your flashes directly from the trigger.
- Gruppen-Zoom: Adjust the zoom value of compatible flashes via the transmitter.
3.4 Weitere Funktionen
- Blitzbelichtungskorrektur (FEC): Adjust flash output in ±3 stops in 1/3 stop increments.
- Blitzbelichtungsspeicherung (FEL): Lock the flash exposure value.
- Fokus-Assistent: The trigger can emit an assist beam to help the camera focus in low light.
- Speicherfunktion: Die Einstellungen werden 2 Sekunden nach der letzten Operation gespeichert und nach einem Neustart wiederhergestellt.
- Einzel- und Mehrfachaufnahmeeinstellung: Configure the trigger for single or multiple shots.
- Wireless Shutter Release Trigger: Can function as a wireless shutter release when connected via the 2.5mm sync cord jack.
