The Elinchrom Transmitter PRO for Fujifilm cameras will provide full compatibility with Elinchrom flash units and support TTL functionality for the latest ELB 500 TTL.
Fujifilm users will soon be able to equip their cameras with the Elinchrom Transmitter PRO, which allows them to use TTL, HSS, or Hi-Sync to their Elinchrom flash units, along with all the latest features. With the compatibility for the latest ELB 500 TTL, Fujifilm photographers who often shoot in time-sensitive environments can now enjoy the convenience and speed of TTL flash.
Previously available to Nikon, Canon, Sony, Olympus, and Panaosnic users, the Elinchrom Transmitter PRO will finally be available for Fujifilm soon. Fujifilm users will be able to get an initial “lock” on their exposure in TTL through the Manual Lock functionality, or switch to manual mode to adjust their exposure as needed or as necessary with various creative effects.
The Elinchrom Transmiter PRO automatically detects which mode to switch to when using the ELB 1200 with Hi-Sync synchronization or the ELB 500 TTL with HSS. The manual mode also allows pairing the ELB 1200 with a Hi-Sync head and the ELB 500 TTL in the same setup.
Fujifilm users will also already enjoy the improvements that came with recent firmware update on Elinchrom transmitters for Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus, and Panasonic, as they are already integrated in version 1.1 for Fujifilm.
Here’s a rundown of all the features Fujifilm users can expect from the Elinchrom Transmiter PRO:
