#GODOX XPRO MANUAL#
You start by trusting the flash system just enough by shooting TTL and making adjustments, and then you switch to Manual so you regain full control of your shoot. TCM is a great way for you to save time and reduce the guess-work during a shoot.
In order to do this, you go to your XPro transmitter, press the Menu button, turn the wheel until you select the TCM function, press SET, and select the kind of flash you’re using: hotshoe flash, AD200, AD360 or AD600. If you use AD200s or other Godox studio strobes, you need to let the transmitter know what kind of flash you’re using, so it translates FEC values to power setting values, correctly. You can start shooting in TTL mode and, once you dial your exposure ratios between different groups, you change to Manual mode to ensure you can repeat the photograph you just made. The transmitter changed the mode on all active groups from TTL to Manual, and changed their corresponding flash exposure compensation into manual power settings. That’s why, in order to make more images with the same lighting, I pressed and held the TCM button. I could keep shooting with this setting, but when you use TTL you run the risk of the camera/flash recalculating its power setting. As will medium format Fuji GFX 50s shooters. If you’re using one of the current generation bodies like the X-Pro2, X-T20, X-T2 or even the X-T1, you’ll get full compatibility with everything. I then changed the FEC on group A to 1, took another test shot and got what I was looking for. The Godox XPro-F offers varying degrees of body compatibility depending on the specific model of Fuji you own. The image was not bad, but it was a bit dark. This means that flash A will try and produce a neutral exposure, while flash B will try to underexpose by two stops. I set both groups on the XPro on TTL with a Flash Exposure Compensation (FEC) of 0 for group A and -2 for group B.
#GODOX XPRO ISO#
The camera settings were ISO 200, f/2, 1/250s so it didn’t capture any ambient light. My camera was on a tripod, pointing at Jessica with the XPro on the hotshoe. Both flashes were on radio receiver mode, the one the right was in group A, the one on the left was group B. I also set another TT685, bare, on a table, at camera left.
We got together at Café Sideral, a great coffee shop downtown, and set one TT685 on a stand with a shoot-through umbrella, on camera right. In order to demonstrate TCM I asked Jessica, again, to join me for a test shoot. I haven’t tested TCM with TT350s but I’ll keep you posted. In my case, I’m using two TT685f because I use Fujifilm cameras. Next, you’ll need TTL capable Godox flashes. First, you’ll need the Godox XPro transmitter, as it’s the only Godox transmitter with this function, at the time of this writing.
