TCM FUNCTION
Another significant feature now provided with the Pro transmitter is the new TCM function.
TCM stands for TLL – CONVERT – MANUAL.
This is Godox and Flashpoint’s version of Hybrid or Fusion TTL, where its now possible to take a shot in TTL mode to attain a correct exposure very quickly, and then at the press of a button convert those TTL power levels to display on the transmitter as Manual power levels.
The manual power levels can then be further refined, and provide consistent exposures for further shots in the same set up and environment.
The TCM function can provide a large advantage when operating in a fast paced environment, allowing a base setting to be gained very quickly without manually metering lights. Switching to manual the individual power levels can then be refined as needed, and exposures remain constant for subsequent images.
Other features include a flash Zoom control screen, and a large graphic menu with custom functions –
The Pro transmitter provides similar range and reliability to the original R2 and XT transmitters, and also currently use the same AF assist light, and regular screw locking foot.
A shutter release function is provided, as well as a Type-C USB port for firmware updated, and a 2.5mm sync port.
And the Pro transmitter is once again powered by 2 regular AA batteries.
