3.1 Wireless Sync (433MHz)

The FT433-N operates on the 433MHz frequency band for stable wireless communication. To establish a connection:

1. Ensure both the FT433-N and the FR433-equipped flash unit have wireless mode enabled.
2. Set the same Channel (CH), ID, and Group (GR) settings on both the trigger and the flash unit. The FT433-N supports 16 groups and 32 channels with 1-99 wireless ID settings.

3.2 Flash Modes and Synchronization

• TTL-Automatikblitz: Provides automatic flash exposure by measuring the light through the lens.
• Manueller Modus: Ermöglicht eine präzise Steuerung der Blitzleistung.
• Mehrfachblitzmodus: Ermöglicht mehrere Blitze während einer einzigen Belichtung für kreative Effekte.
• Hochgeschwindigkeitssynchronisierung (HSS): Supports shutter speeds up to 1/8000 second, allowing for wider apertures in bright conditions. Activate HSS via the SYNC button on the trigger.
• Front and Rear Curtain Sync: Synchronize the flash with either the opening or closing of the camera's shutter curtains. Toggle this setting using the SYNC button.

3.3 TCM (TTL Convert Manual) Function

The TCM function allows you to quickly convert TTL auto flash parameters into manual power settings. This is useful for maintaining consistent lighting after an initial TTL reading.

1. Machen Sie eine Testaufnahme im TTL-Modus, um die gewünschte Belichtung zu ermitteln.
2. Drücken Sie die TCM button on the FT433-N. The TTL output parameters will be converted and displayed as manual power settings.
3. You can then fine-tune these manual settings as needed.

2. Download and install the GodoxFlash app on your smartphone.
3. Open the app, search for devices, and connect to your FT433-N. You may need to enter a default password (e.g., "000000").
4. Once connected, you can adjust flash power levels, change modes, and control other settings directly from your phone.

3.5 Single-Contact Mode for Rapid-Fire

The single-contact mode minimizes data exchange between the trigger and camera, enabling faster continuous shooting compared to multi-contact modes.
