Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Westcott FJ-X2m Wireless Flash Trigger. The FJ400 and FJ-X2m Wireless
Flash Trigger (sold separately) are a photographer’s dream combination. The performance of the FJ400
is one of the industry’s first compact, portable 400 watt-second strobe that’s capable of recycling in less
than one second at full power, so you don’t miss the shot. It offers the most full-power flashes at 480
bursts to extend those on-location shoots when AC power isn’t an option, and it has accurate color
temperatures throughout its entire 9-stop output range. When paired with the FJ-X2m Wireless Radio
trigger, you can say, “Goodbye,” to the need for multiple brand-specific triggers. The FJ400 and FJ-X2m
have you covered with their multi-brand compatibility. This versatile unit offers everything required by
professional photographers today to achieve lighting success - including TTL, HSS, Continuous Capture,
Freeze Function, and so much more. Enjoy!

Important things to know before starting…
Reviewing Firmware Files
Firmware updates will be made available on the FJ-X2m product page (https://www.westcott.com/4705)
to improve the performance of the FJ Wireless System. Please review ALL documentation included with
each firmware download to ensure the necessary steps for preparation are complete before installing
the firmware.
TTL ±3 Flash Exposure Compensation (FJ400 & FJ-X2m)
±3 TTL Flash Exposure Compensation (FEC) on the FJ-X2m is independent of the Flash Exposure
Compensation (FEC) on the FJ400 Strobe. Meaning, a change of the FEC ±3 on the FJ-X2m will adjust
the light output in TTL mode; however, the FJ400 screen will not indicate the FEC changes made on the
FJ-X2m. The FJ400 FEC can be further adjusted ±3.
Set the strobe display to show both the FJ400 Strobe FEC (large letters) and the FJ-X2m Wireless Trigger
FEC (small letters) by turning the M->TTL setting to ON in MENU 6 on the FJ400. Learn more about
accessing the FJ400 Menu Settings in the section titled Menu Screen #6 in the FJ400 User Manual.
Canon Continuous Mode
When photographing in Canon Continuous Mode, two overlapping squares will be visible on the FJ400
screen, and the FJ Wireless System will default to Manual Mode disabling TTL and HSS functionality. Exit
Continuous Mode on the Canon camera to resume TTL and HSS functionality.
Full-stop Increments in Manual Mode
While a Group’s power setting is highlighted green, a long press of the scroll wheel will highlight the
power setting and allow full stop adjustments via the scroll wheel.

FJ-X2m Wireless Trigger: Overview
Get the most out of your FJ400 Strobe by pairing it with the FJ-X2m Wireless Radio Trigger. The FJ400
may work with your existing triggers; however, to achieve optimal performance of the strobe, we strongly
suggest using the FJ-X2m Wireless Radio Trigger. Both units operate at 2.4Ghz, ensuring communication
distances up to 985' (300m) unobstructed.

FJ-X2m: Warnings
Caution
●Keep away from fire, water, and moisture. Do not submerge in water.
●Avoid drastic temperature changes before, during, and/or after use.
●Do not overtighten the shoe lock wheel when mounting to the camera.
●Securely mount the FJ-X2m before use.
●Surrounding RF interference may affect the communication performance of the FJ-X2m.

FJ-X2m: Firmware Updates
The FJ-X2m Wireless Trigger is designed with a USB-C port to allow firmware updates and charging
ONLY. Future firmware updates may result in performance enhancements along with modified menu
options and layouts. Regularly visit westcott.com/4705 to confirm your strobe has the latest firmware.
Installing the Firmware
1. Visit westcott.com/4705 and scroll to the Support section. Find and download the latest FJ-X2m
firmware ZIP file to your computer. (Note: Various browsers may automatically unzip the ZIP file. In
this scenario, skip to Step #3).
2. Unzip the file. Open the extracted folder.
3. IMPORTANT: Read ALL FILES in the extracted folder (i.e., README, Changelog, etc.).
4. Ensure the FJ-X2m is OFF.
5. Connect the USB-A to USB-C cable to the FJ-X2m’s USB-C port.
6. On the FJ-X2m, press and hold the 3rd Menu Selection button.
7. Hold the Menu Selection button, connect the USB-A to USB-C cable into your computer’s USB-A
port. The Wireless Signal Indicator light on FJ-X2m will illuminate red when your computer has
recognized the connection to the FJ-X2m. You may release the button at this time.
8. Standard operating systems will present the FJ-X2m as an external device.
a. NOTE: macOS may display the external device on the desktop or in the Finder window.
9. Locate the .BIN firmware file on your computer and drag it to the FJ-X2m external device.
10. Once the file has been completely copied to the FJ-X2m, EJECT the FJ-X2m external device from
the computer.
11. Unplug the USB-A to USB-C cable from your computer and the FJ-X2m.
12. Long press the Power | Menu button on the FJ-X2m to initiate the firmware update and confirm
installation was successful by locating the firmware text in the bottom right corner of the screen
during the start-up process.
Important
7
●If FJ devices don’t display as an external device after being connected to the computer, please
disconnect the USB cable from both devices, restart the computer, and restart the firmware
installation process.
●Only attempt the firmware update installation process when the connected computer’s power
level is ≥ 25%. Loss of power of any type during this process could render the FJ-X2m inoperable
and require professional repair.
●Removing the USB cable from the FJ-X2m without properly ejecting the device from your
computer could render the trigger inoperable and require professional repair.
●Depending on the operating system and the applications running, copying the firmware from your
computer to the FJ-X2m may take a few minutes and/or halt the copying process. Should this
happen, close the copy progress window and try again. Further copying issues may require the
computer to be restarted.
FJ-X2m: Preparing Your Camera
An FJ-X2m Wireless Trigger is compatible with various brands of cameras to operate the FJ400 strobe.
Each camera manufacturer chooses a different approach to how their cameras interact with off-camera
lights. A few adjustments to your camera settings are required for the FJ-X2m and FJ400 to properly
perform with your camera. Below are a few settings to check out first. We recommend referring to your
camera’s user manual for details specific to your camera brand and model.
●Set Silent Shutter to Off.
●Set E-Front Curtain to Off.
●Set Wireless Mode to On or Off (camera brand/model dependent).
●Set Red-Eye Reduction to On or Off (camera brand/model dependent).
●Set Exposure Compensation to 0 (zero) in-camera.
●Set White Balance to Daylight, 5500K, or Custom at 5500K (not Auto).
●Various camera models require you to set the Sync type (Front Curtain, Rear Curtain, HSS)
manually in the camera’s Flash Menu before the FJ-X2m Sync can be adjusted.
●Various camera models automatically adjust the Sync setting to HSS when HSS is enabled in the
camera settings, and the native sync speed has been exceeded.
●Ensure the camera’s battery level is above 25%.
●Ensure the camera contacts are clean and the FJ-X2m is seated correctly and aligned.
NOTE: Please find additional brand-specific camera preparation on Page 14.

3. Slide the FJ-X2m towards the back of the camera to remove.
2.5mm PC Port Connection [Output Only]

Wireless Communication to 3rd-party strobes equipped with a 3.5mm sync port (input).
Mounting the FJ-X2m Sony Adapter (Product #: 4711)
1. Slide the Sony Adapter (sold separately) into the camera’s hot shoe with the release button facing
the camera’s back.
2. Once the adapter is mounted, loosen the FJ-X2m’s Shoe Lock dial and slide the FJ-X2m onto the
