3.3 Initial Flash Connection

For flashes with built-in radio systems (Godox 2.4G Wireless X or Flashpoint 2.4GHz R2), ensure your flash unit is set to the appropriate receiving mode and channel/group to match the E7G. For older flashes without built-in radio systems, connect the E7G's OUT connector to the sync port of the flash unit and set the E7G to Receive mode (RX).

4.2 Transmit/Receive Mode Switching

The E7G can operate in two modes: Transmitting (TX) and Receiving (RX). You can switch between these modes via the menu or dedicated controls (refer to the screen interface for current mode). TX mode is used when the E7G is mounted on your camera to trigger remote flashes. RX mode is used when the E7G acts as a receiver for an older flash unit or as part of a wireless shutter release system.

4.3 Adjusting Flash Power and Group Settings

The OLED screen displays data in real-time, including channel, ID number, power value, and grouping status. Use the Group buttons (A-E) to select the desired group, then turn the Dial to adjust the flash power for that specific group. This allows for individual power adjustments across multiple flash units for richer light and shadow layering.

7. Troubleshooting

  • Flash not firing:
    • Ensure the E7G and flash unit(s) are powered on.
    • Verify that the E7G and flash unit(s) are set to the same channel and group.
    • Check battery levels in the E7G and flash unit(s).
    • Ensure the E7G is securely mounted on the camera's hot shoe.
    • Press the TEST button on the E7G to confirm signal transmission.
  • Interference issues:
    • Change the channel on both the E7G and flash unit(s).
    • Utilize the Channel Expansion ID feature to further isolate your signal.
    • Ensure no other 2.4GHz devices are operating nearby on conflicting frequencies.
  • Remote shutter release not working:
    • For wired release, ensure the cable is correctly connected to the E7G's IN port and the camera's remote terminal.
    • For wireless release, confirm both E7G units are powered, set to the same channel, and the RX unit is connected to the camera.
    • Check camera settings for external trigger compatibility.
  • E7G not responding:
    • Replace AAA batteries or connect to an external USB Type-C power source.
    • Perform a factory reset if available (refer to the full manual for specific instructions, if applicable).

8. User Tips

  • Check Compatibility: The E7G is confirmed to work well with Nikon cameras and Godox V860III flashes, among others listed in the compatibility section. Always verify your specific flash model against the provided lists.
  • Optimize Range: For maximum range (up to 200m), ensure there are no significant obstructions between the E7G and your flash units. Open outdoor environments provide the best signal transmission.
  • Battery Management: Carry spare AAA batteries for portable use, or utilize the USB Type-C port for continuous power during studio sessions to avoid interruptions.
