5. Setup

5.1. Powering the Device

• Battery Power: Insert two AAA (1.5V) batteries into the battery compartment for on-the-go portability.
• External Power: Connect the E7G's USB Type-C port to an external power source using the provided USB Type-C cable. This allows for non-stop studio work, even without batteries.

5.2. Mounting to Camera

Slide the E7G's hot shoe mount onto your camera's hot shoe until it clicks into place. Ensure it is securely fastened. The E7G features a center single-contact hot shoe mount, compatible with most DSLR and mirrorless cameras with a standard ISO hot shoe interface.

Note: A few cameras with standard hot-shoe do not support single-contact triggers, such as Canon EOS Rebel SL3 (EOS 250D / 2000D II / Kiss X10), EOS Rebel T100 (EOS 4000D / 3000D), R50, R50V, V1; Nikon P1000.

5.3. Connecting to Flash Units (Transceiver Function)

The E7G can act as both a transmitter (TX) and a receiver (RX). To use it as a receiver for older flash units without built-in radio systems, connect the E7G's OUT connector to the sync port of the flash unit. This integrates the flash into the Godox/Flashpoint lighting system.

5.4. Camera Shutter Release Setup

• Wired Shutter Release: Set one E7G to Receive mode (RX). Connect the IN port of the E7G (RX) to the shutter remote terminal on the camera using an appropriate shutter cable (sold separately). Press and hold the TEST button on the E7G (RX) to release the camera shutter.
• Wireless Shutter Release: Set one E7G to Transmit mode (TX) and another to Receive mode (RX). Set both E7Gs to the same channel. Press and hold the TEST button on the E7G (TX) to wirelessly release the camera shutter. The E7G (RX) can be operated to release the camera shutter by connecting it to the camera shutter remote terminal. It can be operated without being mounted on the camera's hot shoe.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1. Power On/Off

Press and hold the Power button () for a few seconds to turn the E7G on or off.

6.2. Adjusting Flash Power

Once a group is selected (A, B, C, D, or E), turn the Dial to adjust the flash power for that specific group. The OLED screen will display the current power value.

6.3. Group Control

The E7G supports 5 independent lighting groups (A-E). Press the corresponding Group button (A, B, C, D, or E) to select a group. When using multiple lights, each group's power can be adjusted individually for richer light and shadow layering.

6.4. Channel and ID Settings

The E7G offers 32 channels and 99 IDs (1-99) for anti-interference. To access these settings, press the Center button to enter the menu. Navigate using the Dial and confirm with the Center button. Ensure your E7G and flash units are set to the same channel and ID to prevent interference, especially in multi-light setups.

Note: It can only be used when the flash units have the wireless ID setting function. If they do not, set the ID to OFF.

6.5. Modeling Light and Beep Control

• Modeling Light: Press the Model button () to turn the modeling light of the flash unit(s) on or off.
• Beep: Press the Buzz button () to turn on/off the beep sound from the flash unit(s) when they are recycled.

6.6. Test Flash

Press the TEST button to manually trigger the flash unit(s) and verify communication.

6.7. Transmit/Receive Mode Switching and Distance Settings

• TX (Transmitting mode): The E7G acts as a trigger, sending signals to flash units.
• RX (Receiving mode): The E7G acts as a receiver, receiving signals from another E7G or compatible trigger.
• Distance Settings:
  • 0-1m: Select when the E7G is relatively close to the flash unit (within 1 meter).
  • 1-200m: Select when remotely controlling from a distance (more than 1 meter). This setting optimizes signal transmission for longer ranges, up to 650 feet (200 meters) in open space without interference.
