POWERING ON THE FLASHBOSS

To turn on the FlashBoss,

move the power switch

to the On position.

The FlashBoss switches to

standby mode after a selected

amount of time, and the LCD

screen goes blank. To resume

operation, press the camera’s

shutter button or the test

button on the FlashBoss.

See the Settings Menu section

in the user manual to adjust

the amount of time before

standby mode is enabled.

When mounted to a camera’s

hot shoe, the FlashBoss can

be used as a transmitter.

Make sure the FlashBoss

and your camera are turned

o before proceeding.

MOUNTING THE FLASHBOSS ON A CAMERA

1. Loosen the locking wheel, and

insert the FlashBoss into the

camera’s hot shoe.

2. Make sure the FlashBoss is

fully inserted into the hot

shoe, and tighten the locking

wheel until secure.

Mounting to a Light Stand

1. Screw the 1/4-inch receiver

on the bottom of the mini

stand onto the light stand’s

1/4-inch stud.

2. Mount the FlashBoss onto the

mini stand.

MOUNTING A FLASH TO THE FLASHBOSS

A ﬂash can be mounted

onto the FlashBoss when the

FlashBoss is attached to the

camera. In this conﬁguration,

the FlashBoss can operate as

a transmitter or receiver.

The FlashBoss TTL passthrough

capability allows the TTL

metering data to ﬂow from the

camera, through the FlashBoss,

and directly to the ﬂash.

A ﬂash and FlashBoss can also be

used for remote operation with

the FlashBoss in receiver mode.

Make sure the FlashBoss

and your ﬂash are turned

o before proceeding.

Mount the ﬂash to the

FlashBoss’s hot-shoe mount,

and turn on the ﬂash.

Important! Make sure the ﬂash

is set to TTL mode in order

to function properly with the

FlashBoss’s operating modes. Refer

to your ﬂash’s manual for enabling

TTL mode.
