Setup

Attaching the X5F Trigger to the iT32 Flash

The X5F trigger is designed to integrate seamlessly with the iT32 flash. Simply align the X5F at the bottom of the iT32. The magnetic connection will automatically secure the trigger and establish communication.

Mounting on Camera

Attach the combined iT32 and X5F unit to your FUJIFILM camera's hot shoe. Ensure it is securely fastened to prevent accidental detachment during use.

Operating Instructions

Powering On/Off and Charging

The X5F trigger does not have a dedicated on/off switch. It powers on when attached to the iT32 flash or a compatible hot shoe. The iT32 flash is powered by a built-in 7.2V 900mAh lithium battery. Charge the iT32 using the provided USB-C cable. A full charge takes approximately 70 minutes and provides about 70 minutes of continuous operation at full power. The X5F's integrated 3.8V 100mAh battery charges when attached to the iT32 and provides up to 16 hours of standby time after a 3-hour charge.

Basic Flash Modes

The iT32 supports TTL (Through-The-Lens) automatic flash, Manual flash, and Multi-flash (stroboscopic) modes. Use the touchscreen interface to select and adjust these modes.

• TTL Mode: The flash output is automatically adjusted based on the camera's metering system for balanced exposure.
• Manual Mode: Allows you to manually set the flash power output from 1/1 to 1/256.
• Multi Mode: Fires a series of rapid flashes during a single exposure, useful for capturing multiple movements of a subject.

High Speed Sync (HSS) and Sync Modes

The iT32 supports High Speed Sync (HSS) up to 1/8000s, allowing you to use flash at shutter speeds faster than your camera's native sync speed. It also supports 1st curtain sync and 2nd curtain sync for creative effects with moving subjects.

Wireless Control with X5F Trigger

The X5F trigger can be detached from the iT32 flash and mounted on your FUJIFILM camera's hot shoe to wirelessly control the iT32 from up to 20 meters (65 feet) away. When used as a standalone transmitter, the X5F can also trigger other Godox X system flashes within an 80-meter range. Refer to the X5F's specific instructions for pairing with other Godox units.

Interchangeable X5 Hotshoe System

The Godox X5 system features interchangeable magnetic hotshoes (e.g., X5C for Canon, X5S for Sony, X5N for Nikon, X5O for Olympus/Panasonic, X5F for Fujifilm). This allows for instant switching between camera brands while maintaining a consistent setup. Ensure you are using the correct X5F trigger for your FUJIFILM camera.

Using the LED Setting Light

The iT32 features an adjustable LED setting light with 10 brightness levels. This light helps you preview the lighting effect before taking a shot, aiding in precise light placement and adjustment.

Magnetic Accessories

The included magnetic diffuser and color filters (1/2 orange, 1/1 orange) can be easily attached to the flash head to modify light quality and color temperature. Additional color filters (MA02) can be purchased separately.
