  • Page 2 The PocketWizard System of Radio Controls Photographers can enjoy wireless connectivity to their professional flash and camera equipment using a variety of different models of the PocketWizard radio controls made by LPA Design. The first generation of PocketWizard called the “Classic” had 16 channels and was meant to be mounted to the photographers shirt pocket with a cord connecting it to the camera.
  • Page 3 D1 - PocketWizard Compatibility Mode The Nikon D1, D1X or D1H radio module inside your camera is compatible with all 32 PocketWizard channels. To activate the camera’s radio, you will need to plug in the antenna into the front PC sync port of the camera.

  • Page 4: Receive Mode

    Channel selection: remotely firing the camera. The radio is in receiver mode most of the time. The receive channel is always linked one channel up from the transmit channel. If you set the cameras transmit channel to channel 5, the camera will receive remote triggers on channel 6.

  • Page 5: Prerelease Lock

    Prerelease Lock: The radio module adds one more important feature to the camera. Locking the prerelease enables the camera to stay awake (ready to fire). The camera can fire in 75ms (0.075 sec.) If it is kept awake. If the camera goes to sleep / standby mode, the response time for it to wake back up again can be up to 1 sec.

  • Page 6: The Flashwizard Ii System Of Radios

    The FlashWizard II option for your radio enables your camera’s shutter to be precisely controlled. The D1 family of cameras (D1, D1X, D1H) all have a shutter lag time variation of up to 10ms. This is to much variation to enable synchronization with other cameras.
  • Page 7 The Camera radio uses a fixed 110.0ms “Equalize to time”. This means that if you are going to use the D1 cameras for use with the FlashWizard II system, you will need to set your Equalize time on all FlashWizard II units to be 110.0ms.
  • Page 8 Using the Camera as the FlashWizard II System trigger: Your D1 camera can be used to fire a specific group of cameras, or can be set to fire nothing. If you wish to fire a group of cameras from your D1 camera radio, you will need to configure FlashWizard II unit #1 for a special setting.

  • Page 9: Lag Time Control And Shutter Speeds

    Lag Time Control and Shutter Speeds: A D1 camera with the FlashWizard II software and hardware built in will have timing accuracy from shot to shot of 1.2ms. To achieve this accuracy the camera must first be test fired a few times so that the camera can make self adjusting corrections to it’s lag time.
