PocketWizard PowerMC2 Quick Manual - Basic Power Control
With only a MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 on your camera, your
camera’s FEC (Flash Exposure Compensation) control
will adjust your flash power output level for all your
PowerMC2-connected flashes as shown in the table
on the right.
Nikon: The camera’s FEC or EC (Exposure Compensation)
control will adjust flash power output level. The Nikon D3
series cameras do not have an FEC adjustment. You can
use the EC adjustment on all Nikon cameras, including the
D3 series, whenever a flash power output level adjustment
is needed.
Canon: Both the camera’s ISO and FEC controls will adjust
flash power output level. Changes to FEC will adjust flash
power output level as shown in the table on the right. Changes
from the ISO used for your first picture will adjust flash output
power level relative to FEC. For example, if your first picture
was at ISO 200, and you adjusted ISO down to 100, your flash
power level would be 1 stop brighter for all FEC settings.
This operation assumes PowerTracking is set to Full Manual in
the PocketWizard Utility which is the default.
You can use any PocketWizard receiving radios together in the
same exposure, including other ControlTL radios. Remember
that studio and manual flash output will not be calculated as
part of an E-TTL / i-TTL exposure.
