6. Operating Modes
The Godox TT350S offers several operating modes to suit various photographic needs. Use the 'MODE' button to cycle through them.
6.1 TTL Autoflash Mode
In TTL (Through-The-Lens) mode, the flash automatically adjusts its output to achieve optimal exposure based on the camera's metering. This is ideal for quick shooting and changing light conditions.
- Press the 'MODE' button until 'TTL' appears on the LCD.
- Flash Exposure Compensation (FEC) can be adjusted to fine-tune exposure.
6.2 Manual Flash Mode (M)
Manual mode allows you to set the flash output power manually from 1/1 (full power) to 1/128 in 1/3 stop increments. This provides precise control over lighting.
- Press the 'MODE' button until 'M' appears on the LCD.
- Use the dial to adjust the flash output power.
6.3 Multi Flash Mode (Stroboscopic)
Multi mode fires a series of rapid flashes during a single exposure, creating stroboscopic effects. You can set the flash frequency (Hz), number of flashes, and flash output.
- Press the 'MODE' button until 'Multi' appears on the LCD.
- Adjust settings using the dial and 'SET' button.
6.4 High-Speed Sync (HSS)
HSS allows the flash to synchronize with shutter speeds faster than the camera's native sync speed (up to 1/8000s). This is useful for overpowering ambient light or using wide apertures in bright conditions.
- Activate HSS via the 'SYNC' button or camera settings, depending on your camera model.
6.5 Zoom Function
The flash head's zoom can be set automatically or manually to match the lens's focal length, optimizing light coverage. The zoom range is 24-105mm.
- Press the 'ZOOM' button to switch between auto and manual zoom.
- In manual mode, use the dial to adjust the focal length.

- Press the 'SLAVE GR/CH' button to select slave mode.
- Ensure the channel and group match the master unit.
