Tips - continued

Memory Card Management
Format your memory card in your camera before taking pictures. This lets you use the Recover feature to recover images that have not been deleted and overwritten. Consider saving your Raw images when performing in-camera processing. The Raw image may allow you to change resolution based on output needs and perform image edits. (See the Users Guide for saving Raw images in Advanced mode.)

Battery Management

To maximize your battery life, use the battery until it is low before recharging. (The battery icon blinks on the Top Status LCD when the battery is low.) Do not leave the battery in your camera when it is not in use. When the camera is turned off, there is a small drain of battery power.

Lenses

Take special care attaching your lenses to your camera. Do not force. Do not use incompatible lenses. See the Users Guide.

Strobes/Flash Units

Only use flash units recommended for use with your camera. Use of a radio slave for strobes is highly recommended to isolate your cameras flash circuitry from the high-powered circuitry of your strobes.
IEEE 1394 Communications Setup
Be sure the orientation is correct when you connect the IEEE 1394 cable to the computer. Connecting incorrectly can damage your camera or computer. The point on the 6-pin plug must align with the point on the computer. Do not use repeaters and cables exceeding 10 meters (10.9 yards). Doing so can damage your camera or degrade performance.

Use strobes with a trigger voltage less than 250 volts. Failure to do so could result in inconsistent firing of the strobes or damage to your cameras circuitry. Use of a safe sync is recommended. It isolates your cameras flash circuitry from the high-powered circuitry of your strobes.

Using your Camera with a POCKETWIZARD Radio Transceiver
The POCKETWIZARD Radio Transceiver is a digital wireless triggering system. The POCKETWIZARD Radio Transceiver installed in your KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Pro SLR/n, DCS Pro 14n, or DCS Pro 14nx Digital Camera is a fully integrated camera component. You can operate the POCKETWIZARD Radio Transceiver with camera controls and camera menu displays. The POCKETWIZARD Radio Transceiver is fully compatible with all other POCKETWIZARD products including the POCKETWIZARD Classic, the POCKETWIZARD Plus, the POCKETWIZARD MAX, and the POCKETWIZARD MultiMAX. The POCKETWIZARD Radio Transceiver operates with other professional photography equipment with POCKETWIZARD Inside such as PROFOTO, DYNA-LITE, and PHOTO CONTROL flash systems, SEKONIC Light Meters, and the NIKON D1 series of digital cameras. Refer to the user manual included with any of your remote POCKETWIZARD devices for additional information.

Overview

Initial Setup
To use the POCKETWIZARD feature you must prepare the cameras and flash units that you will be using. All devices must be equipped with or connected to a POCKETWIZARD Radio Transceiver. 1. Screw the POCKETWIZARD antenna into the PC Sync terminal of any cameras (with a POCKETWIZARD Radio Transceiver) in your setup.
CAUTION: Do not screw the POCKETWIZARD antenna too tightly. Doing so can damage the antenna. 2. Set the appropriate POCKETWIZARD mode in each transmitting and receiving device (see page 1-5). 3. Set the channel and zones in the transmitting and receiving devices. If a receiving device has no user interface, use the Teach Channel feature on the camera to "teach" it the appropriate values (see page 1-12). If you dont connect the antenna to your camera (or if the antenna is damaged), the following screen appears when you capture an image in POCKETWIZARD mode.

Choosing the POCKETWIZARD Mode
Choose Mode, then choose Off, Transmit, Receive, or Relay. (Selecting Off turns off the POCKETWIZARD Radio Transceiver and all associated functionality.)

Transmit Mode

When you press the Shutter Release while in Transmit mode, any remote flash units or cameras set in Receive mode (and on the same channel and zone as your camera) will trigger as your camera captures an image. When another POCKETWIZARD device (a camera or a POCKETWIZARD MultiMax) is triggered, your camera receives a signal and captures an image. (Your camera must be on the same channel and zone as the POCKETWIZARD triggering device.) When another POCKETWIZARD device (a camera or a POCKETWIZARD MultiMAX) is triggered, your camera receives a signal, captures an image, and switches to Transmit mode. It then relays the trigger signal to other cameras and associated flash units. NOTE: In Relay mode, use one channel (see page 1-6) for the cameras and a different channel for the flashes.

Receive Mode

Relay Mode

Setting the Channel

You must set the channel in your transmitting and receiving devices. NOTE: Devices on the same channel work together. You can set channels 1 - 32. Channels 17 - 32 let you set zones (see page 1-7) and receive flash / triggering confirmation (see page 1-8). NOTE: Flashes with POCKETWIZARD Inside do not have a user interface. You have to set their channels using the Teach Channel function (see page 1-12). 1. Choose Transmit or Receive, then choose Channel.

2. Press the right side of the Four-way switch to display two boxes where you can select the channel. 3. Press the right or left side of the Four-way switch to highlight the tens or the ones position. Press the top or bottom of the Four-way switch to increase or decrease the value. 4. Press the OK button.

Setting the Zone

If you have selected a channel between 17 - 32, you can assign different zones to remote devices, then turn the zones on or off. For example, if you have several flashes in your studio setup you can assign different zones to flashes, then turn some zones on and some off. This way you can decide which flashes will be used without making manual adjustments.
Setting the Transmit Zone When your camera is in Transmit mode, you can specify the zones you will
transmit to. 1. 2. 3. 4. Choose Transmit, then choose Zone A, B, C, or D. Choose On or Off. Press the OK button. Repeat for all four zones.
Setting the Receive Zone When your camera is in Receive mode, enter the zone as determined by the
setup. NOTE: If you are on channels 1 - 16, you will not select a zone. If you are on channels 17 - 32, you may select a single zone in Receive mode. 1. Choose Receive, choose Zone, then choose A, B, C, or D. 2. Press the OK button.

Test Flash

You can perform a test flash to determine that your setup is correct. If the Strobe Confirm feature is turned on (see page 1-10), flash status (indicated by the lightening bolt symbol) appears on the Test Flash screen. If Strobe Confirm is turned off, only radio status appears. 1. Choose Test Flash from the POCKETWIZARD menu. 2. Press the OK button. Any remote devices set in Receive mode perform a test flash. A screen displays the results of the test flash. The screen at the left is an example of results when SpeedCycler Mode is off (see page 1-11): Zone Ahas both radio and flash confirmation. To detect an actual burst of light from a flash, a POCKETWIZARD Flash Confirmation Cable must be connected to the flash. Confirmation of this burst of light is indicated by a lightening bolt symbol. Zone Bhas radio confirmation but no flash confirmation. Zone Cfailed because the zone is turned on but no radio was found. Zone Dis turned off. The screen at the left is an example of results when SpeedCycler Mode is on (see page 1-11): Zone A and Zone Bwere skipped for this shot. Zone Cthis flash has just triggered. Zone Dis turned off. The next flash to trigger would be Zone A. The arrow indicates the zone triggered on this capture. The arrow rotates through all active zones, one step per capture. 3. Make any necessary corrections to the setup and press the OK button to test the system again. When the setup is working properly, press the Cancel button to return to the POCKETWIZARD menu.

Test Radio

The Test Radio feature is useful when you want to test your setup, but dont want to trigger a flash. You should always test your setup before using it. 1. Choose Test Radio from the POCKETWIZARD menu. 2. Press the OK button. 3. Make necessary adjustments (turn on devices, set channels and zones, etc.) and press the OK button. Repeat until the setup is correct. 4. Press the Cancel button to return to the POCKETWIZARD menu.

Strobe Confirmation

When you turn on the Strobe Confirm feature, you can examine the status of the strobes after each image capture. For the Strobe Confirm feature to work, a POCKETWIZARD Confirmation Sensor must be connected to the flash. 1. Choose Strobe Confirm, then choose On or Off. 2. Press the OK button.
If all enabled zones confirm when you capture an image, no screen appears. If one or more zones fail, a screen like the example at the left appears. Press the Cancel button to return to the POCKETWIZARD menu.

SpeedCycler Mode

When your camera is in SpeedCycler mode, flashes in enabled zones are triggered sequentially. All flashes in the same channel and zone go off at the same time. For example, all flashes in Zone A are triggered with the first capture, all flashes in Zone B in the next, etc. This allows multiple flash units to cycle faster than a single flash can refresh. Choose SpeedCycler, then choose On or Off.

Teach Channel

To prepare devices in your setup, you must assign the appropriate channel and zones. If devices have a user interface, you can assign the appropriate values using that interface. Some devices (flashes) have no user interface. Use your cameras Teach Channel feature to assign channel and zones to these devices. To assign values to the remote device, it must be in Learn mode, which in most cases is the first 7 or 30 seconds (depending upon the device manufacturer's configuration) after you turn the remote device on. The camera must be in Teach mode, which is activated when you select the Teach Channel feature. Flashes can learn more than one zone. For example, if zones A and B were selected at the time of teaching, the flash will trigger if either zone A or B is enabled on the transmit device. If you only want the flash to trigger in one zone, just teach it one. Teach each remote device separately so it will learn the appropriate channel and zone. 1. Set up the appropriate channel (see page 1-6) and zone (see page 1-7) on your camera. 2. Choose Teach Channel. 3. Turn on the remote device.
4. Press the OK button on your camera. IMPORTANT: Dont wait to press the OK button or the device will no longer be in Learn mode. A screen appears while the teaching is occurring. Once the remote device has been taught, you can test the POCKETWIZARD Radio Transceiver connection using the Test Radio option (see page 1-9).
