Reference
1. About the Super Sync(SS)
Use non-HSS (Non High Speed Sync) flash to realize High
Speed Sync. This function is more applicable to strobes
flashes whose flash duration is longer. It should be used with
cameras which supports High Speed Sync (HSS) and setting
SS time delay parameters.
A-Set the controller SS time delay parameters in C.FN 01:
(refer to Page 14)
B-Using Super Sync:
1).Set the flash into manual mode. It supports to use the flash
which is set on the hot-shoe of the transceiver or connect the
flash through PC port. Setting full power flash output (1/1) may
be needed.
2).Set the flash sync speed of the camera as high speed sync,
the maximum shutter sync speeds can reach to 1/8000s.
Adjust SS to a suitable time delay parameters according to
the flash model, output power and shutter speed.
3).Take photos and check whether the flash of the photos is
synchronous. The gradations or variations of the light will be
seen in the photos. The flash result will be different due to
different cameras and flashes.

2. About the Automatic Save Function:

Then controller will automatically save the settings of channel,
grouping, flash mode, AF assist beam emitter etc.

Reference
3.About the Ex Compat trigger

The battery is loaded inversely or exhausted.

Install the battery according to the correct direction the

battery compartment indicates and ensure the battery is full

and restart the power .
2. The flash doesn't fire

Ensure the power of all equipments are full, the flash is

in ready state(the flash-ready indicator on)

Ensure the connection among the controller( transceiver),

camera and the flash is reliable.

Whether the controller and transceivers are set in the

same channels and controllable groups.
3. TTL underexposure or overexposure:

Check whether the camera body or the flash sets

exposure compensation. It may be underexposed if exceeds
the effective flash distance. It may overexpose when TTL
and manual flash are used at the same time, at this time the
manual flash suits to be used as a backlight.
When other trouble occurs during using, it's suggested
to deal with the trouble with the procedures as below:
1). Restart all the equipments.
2). Replace the batteries of the controller and transceivers.
3). Reset the factory set of the controller and transceivers.
4).Reset the factory set of the camera/flash.
