Taming the Pocket Wizard for Lumix GF-1

Note: Firmware Update
FlexTT5/mini TT1 on computer - update firmware to v6.0 (6.15 is now available) using Pocket wizard utility (1.55).
 Receiver Setting
FlexTT5 on computer, run Pocket Wizard Utility
Set C1 where C1 = Basic Trigger mode, and Channel Std Rx Channel 1.
Note: The default Rx Channel 32 does not work and for basic trigger, I would prefer to use flash with manual control such as 430EX or 580EXII.

Now dismount FlexTT5 from computer and mount 270EX onto it-
the FlexTT5 is switched on first to C1 (manual switch), and then the flash is turned on.

Transmitter Setting
MiniTT1 on computer, run Pocket Wizard Utility
C1 is checked for "Basic Trigger mode".
Attach MiniTT1 to camera, and switch on MiniTT1to C1 (manual switch) and then Lumix GF-1 to on.

You're all set now for remote flash trigger with the Pocket wizard on the GF-1.

Happy strobbing :-)

Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM + Canon 580EXII + Orbis Ring Flash. I just bought the Orbis Ring Flash. Call it craving or buy flu, I want...! So how does this tool helps me in my quest for photographic excellence? WoW, I must say I'm happy with the results. It is a huge and cumbersome accessory. However, it does helps you to take shadowless picture effortlessly. It just works and just make sure you have a pair of strong hands.

"In Remembrance of Nat"
We had our partner conference at Eilat in November 2007 and here is a picture of Koby, Nathawuth and Ray. Unfortunately, Nathawuth passed away on 24 April 2010 and a reminder to us that time is fleeting and life is unpredictable. Let’s not take it for granted. Live life with love, courage and passion.
