5. Operating Modes
The Godox TT350 offers various operating modes to suit different photographic needs.
5.1. TTL Autoflash Mode
TTL (Through-The-Lens) mode automatically adjusts flash output for optimal exposure. This mode supports features like Flash Exposure Compensation (FEC).

5.2. Manual Flash Mode (M)
In Manual mode, you set the flash output power from 1/1 (full power) to 1/128 in 1/3 EV steps. This provides precise control over lighting.
5.3. Multi Flash Mode
Multi flash (Stroboscopic flash) fires a series of rapid flashes within a single exposure, useful for capturing multiple movements of a subject in one frame.
5.4. High-Speed Sync (HSS)
HSS allows the flash to synchronize with shutter speeds up to 1/8000s, enabling you to use wider apertures in bright conditions or freeze fast motion.

5.5. Wireless 2.4G X System
The integrated 2.4 GHz X radio system allows the TT350 to function as a master or slave unit. It supports 16 channels and three groups (A, B, C) with a range of up to 328 feet (100 meters). This enables versatile multi-flash setups with other Godox X system products.

5.6. Optical Slave Modes (S1/S2)
The TT350 also features optical receiver modes (S1/S2) for working with other standard flashes that do not have a built-in 2.4G system.
6. Maintenance
- Clean the flash unit regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
- Avoid using solvents or harsh chemicals.
- Remove batteries when the unit is not in use for extended periods to prevent leakage.
- Store the flash unit in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Flash does not fire. | Low battery, incorrect mode, flash not securely mounted. | Replace batteries, check flash mode (TTL/M), ensure secure hot shoe connection. |
| Flash output is too dark/bright. | Incorrect FEC setting, manual power too low/high. | Adjust FEC in TTL mode or manual power in M mode. |
| Wireless triggering fails. | Incorrect channel/group, distance too far, interference. | Verify channel and group settings on both flash and trigger. Reduce distance or change channel. |
| Flash head does not zoom. | Manual zoom selected, zoom motor issue. | Ensure auto zoom is enabled or manually adjust zoom. Contact support if motor is faulty. |
