3. Connecting to Camera

Mount the receiver onto your camera's hot shoe. Connect the receiver to your camera's remote control port using the provided connecting cable. Ensure the connection is secure.

4. Power On and Pairing

Turn on both the transmitter and the receiver using their respective power switches. Press the shutter button on the transmitter; both indicator lights should illuminate, confirming successful pairing.

Operating Modes

The PROfezzion PR-UN1 offers five distinct shooting modes, selectable via the mode dial on the transmitter. Ensure your camera is set to the appropriate shooting mode (e.g., single shot, continuous, manual) to match the remote control's function.

Additional Functions

Wireless or Wired Operation

The PR-UN1 can be used as a wireless remote control or, if preferred, the receiver itself can act as a wired cable switch when directly connected to the camera without the transmitter.

Triggering Multiple Receivers

A single PR-UN1 transmitter can trigger multiple PR-UN1 receivers simultaneously, provided all units are set to the same channel. This is useful for multi-camera setups.
