۴.۱ حالت‌های پایه فلاش

• فلاش خودکار TTL: The trigger supports Through-The-Lens (TTL) autoflash, allowing the camera to automatically determine the correct flash output for optimal exposure.
• فلاش دستی: For precise control, adjust the flash output power manually. This mode is ideal for consistent lighting in controlled environments.
• همگام سازی با سرعت بالا (HSS): Achieve shutter speeds up to 1/8000s. This is useful for freezing fast motion or using wide apertures in bright ambient light conditions.
• همگام‌سازی پرده دوم: Synchronize the flash with the closing of the shutter curtain. This creates a natural-looking light trail behind moving subjects.
• Stroboscopic Flash: Fire multiple flashes during a single exposure to capture sequential motion of a subject.

3.2 توابع پیشرفته

• TCM (TTL-Convert-Manual) Function: This two-way function allows instant conversion from TTL mode to Manual mode with retained parameters, and back again. This streamlines your workflow by allowing you to fine-tune manual settings based on an initial TTL reading without repetition.

Figure 3.3: TCM mode allows for quick conversion of TTL settings to manual power for fine adjustments.

• Bluetooth Connectivity & Godox Flash App: The XProII-S features built-in Bluetooth. Download the Godox Flash App on your iPhone, Android smartphone, or tablet to remotely adjust lighting parameters with a clear and user-friendly interface.

• جبران نوردهی فلاش (FEC): Adjust flash output by ±3 EV in 1/3 EV increments to fine-tune exposure.
• ZOOM Setting: Control the zoom value of compatible flash units directly from the transmitter, from AUTO or 24mm to 200mm.
• مدل سازی الamp کنترل: Enable or disable the modeling lamp on compatible flash units directly from the XProII-S.
• Beeper Control: Turn the beeper sound on or off for compatible flash units.
• Wireless Shutter: When used with an optional X1R-S receiver (sold separately) and a 2.5mm sync cord, the XProII-S can remotely trigger your camera's shutter.
• Sekonic Light Meter Integration: The XProII-S can integrate with Sekonic L-858 light meters (equipped with a built-in Godox 2.4G module) to adjust flash parameters directly after metering, enhancing precision and convenience.
