TCM Transform Function:

The TCM (TTL Convert Manual) button allows for quick conversion of TTL flash values to manual power output.

• Long press TCM button: Transforms the flash value in TTL mode into an output value in Manual (M) mode.
• Short press TCM button: Allows groups to switch between single-group and multi-group mode.

Wireless Control (2.4G Godox X System):

The XPro-S utilizes the built-in Godox 2.4G Wireless X System for reliable remote control of flashes.

• Groups and Channels: Features 16 groups and 32 channels for flexible wireless control.
• Wireless ID Settings: Supports 01 to 99 wireless ID settings. Triggering only occurs when the channels and wireless IDs of the master (XPro-S) and slave units are identical, effectively preventing signal interference.
• Range: Can trigger and control flashes at a distance of up to 100 meters.
