II. Getting Started

Installing the batteries

1. Open the battery compartment cover from the back of E4.

2. Install 2 AAA batteries in accordance with the illustrated direction inside the battery compartment.

3. Close the battery compartment cover in place.

Precautions for Use

 The battery level is shown in the upper right corner of the Display [1].

 When the battery is low, or will be shown in the Display [1], replace the batteries with new ones.

Turning E4 on/off

1. Turn on: Press the Power Button [11] to turn on the E4, the Display [1] lights up and contents are displayed.

2. Turn off: Press and hold the Power Button [11] until the Display [1] lights off.

Connecting to the camera

1. Turn off the camera and E4.

2. Slide the Hot Shoe Mounting Foot [15] of the E4 into the camera’s hot shoe mount.

3. Lock the E4 by sliding the Mounting Foot Lock Lever [13] to right until the lock lever clicks in place.

4. Turn on the camera and E4 and set the shooting mode of the camera to Manual (recommended).

5. To detach E4, press the lock-release button on the Mounting Foot Lock Lever [13] while slide the lock lever

all the way back to the left, then slide the E4 out of camera’s hot shoe mount.

III. Basic Functions and Buttons

Channel Selection

1. Chanel selection is used to select one of eight specific frequencies in the 2.4GHz band.

2. Press the Channel Button [8] to select the channel.

 The currently selected channel is shown in the CHANNEL section on the Display [1].

Group Selection

1. Groups are used to allow remote radio control of selected flashes.

2. All flashes that are assigned to the same group under the same channel will be controlled by E4

simultaneously.

3. Press the Group Button [4] A / B or C to select the group.

 The selected Group is shown with its letter in a box.

4. Press the Group Button [4] corresponding to the currently selected group again to select all groups.

 If there is no group letter is shown with a box, all groups are selected

Mode Selection (TTL or Manual)

1. The currently selected mode is shown in the MODE section on the Display [1].

2. Press the Mode Button [2] to toggle between TTL (Through the lens, Automatic) and M (Manual) mode.

 TTL mode: The camera dictates the light output of the flashes. The relationship between the energy

levels for group A, B and C can be adjusted.*

 M mode: The light output for group A, B and C can be controlled manually.

*Please refer to the instruction of relative energy level in the section of “Operation in TTL mode” in this user

manual

Sync selection (1st curtain, 2nd curtain and HSS)

1. The selected sync setting (camera’s sync setting) is shown in the SYNC section on the Display [1].

2. Press the Sync Button [6] to cycle through the sync options:

 1st: First-curtain synchronization. The flashes fire immediately after the exposure starts.

 2nd: Second- curtain synchronization. The flashes fire right before the shutter closes.

 HSS: High speed synchronization. HSS mode is selected.

Precautions for Use

 The sync setting can also be selected in the camera menu. Refer to the camera’s user manual.

HSS (High speed synchronization)

1. HSS enables shooting with flash at a faster shutter speed than the fastest external flash sync speed (x-sync)

of the camera, all the way down to 1/8000s (may differ between camera models).

2. This option can be extremely useful to limit the influence of ambient light when shooting in bright conditions.

Precautions for Use

 During a HSS flash, the flashes are pulsing to provide a constant light output during the time when the

shutter is open.

 To ensure a perfect exposure and a stable flash pulse, the flash uses only the upper part of its power range

when in HSS Mode. Exact range may differ between flash models.

 Frequent use of HSS will have an impact on the life-time of the flash tube.

Remote Control – Head Control; Model Control; Energy Adjustment

1. E4 can remotely radio control all flashes with built-in AODELAN radio system functionality.

2. The Channel settings on the E4 unit must match the Channel settings of the flashes.

3. Press the Head Button [7] to turn on/off the heads in the selected group.

 If the heads in a group are turned off, "--" will be shown after the group letter.

4. Press the Model Button [9] to turn on/off the modeling light in the selected group.

 If the modeling light in a group is turned on, “ ” will be shown in the MODEL column after the group

letter.

5. Press the Energy Adjustment Buttons [3] to adjust the energy level for the group in relation to the other

groups (TTL mode) or the energy level for the group (M mode). **

 <+> represents increase.

 <-> represents decrease.

 Short press Energy Adjustment Button (< 2 seconds) to adjust the flash output energy level in 1/10

f-stop increments.

 Long press Energy Adjustment Button (> 2 seconds) to adjust the flash output energy level in 1 f-stop

increments.

**Since energy adjustments work differently in TTL mode and Manual mode, we recommend to carefully read

the detailed instructions for both modes in the section of “Operating Instructions” in this user manual.

Command Confirmation (only in M mode)

1. If the output energy of a flash has been set to maximum or minimum level, then the flash cannot continue to

increase or decrease its output energy as commanded by the E4.

2. At the point E4 will make continuous and short beeps to signal that the command was not executed.

3. The energy of all flashes in the group will remain unchanged.

Test Function

1. Press the Test Button [5] to manually transmit a sync signal for remote flash triggering to verify expected

functionality.

Beep

1. Press and hold the Channel Button [8] until the E4 makes two short beeps to turn on or off the E4 button

beep.

2. There will be a long beep when E4 is turned on regardless of whether the beeper is turned on or not.

3. Some functions are not supported in certain situations; there will be no beep when the corresponding button

is pressed even if the beeper is turned on. For example, selecting a group and turning off its head, then

there will be no beep when the Energy Adjustment Buttons [3] or Model Button [9] is pressed.

Auto Power Off

1. E4 automatically turns off after 30 minutes of inactivity.

2. Each time after the E4 is turned on by pressing the Power Button [11], the auto power off function will be

enabled.

3. To deactivate the auto power off function, press and hold the Energy Adjustment Button [3] “+” while the E4

is off, then press and hold the Power Button [11] at the same time. Deactivation is confirmed by two short

beeps.

Factory Settings

2. To reset the E4 to factory settings, press and hold down the Mode Button [2] and then press and hold the

Power Button [11] simultaneously until the Display [1] shows “rES”.

3. Release the buttons, E4 is turned on and reset to factory settings.

4. The factory settings of E4 are - TTL mode, 1st (First-curtain synchronization), Channel 1, all groups, the

relationship between the energy levels for group A, B and C is all 0.0.

Other functions

1. Power Saving
