Frequently Asked Questions - FJ200 Strobe Westcott
How do I trigger the FJ200 strobe wirelessly?
The FJ200 has a built-in Skyport receiver compatible with Westcott's FJ-X2 or other Skyport triggers. Set the channel and group on both devices to enable wireless control.
Can I use the FJ200 with a Canon or Nikon camera?
Yes, the FJ200 is equipped with a standard 3.5mm sync port and a hot shoe adapter that allows triggering via Canon/Nikon's own flash systems or via a PC sync cord.
How do I charge the battery?
Use the included AC adapter to charge the battery either inside the strobe or via a dedicated battery charger. The LED indicator shows red while charging and green when fully charged.
What is the recycle time at low power settings?
The recycle time decreases significantly at lower power levels. At 1/32 power, it can be as fast as 0.1 second, allowing rapid firing in burst mode.
How do I activate high-speed sync (HSS)?
Press the Mode button until HSS appears on the LCD. Ensure your camera supports HSS and set the shutter speed accordingly. The FJ200 will then synchronize up to 1/8000 s.
Does the FJ200 have a modeling light?
The FJ200 does not include a built-in modeling light. However, you can attach an optional Westcott LED modeling lamp (sold separately) using the accessory mount.
What accessories are compatible with the FJ200?
The FJ200 accepts all standard Bowens-mount modifiers such as softboxes, umbrellas, and beauty dishes. It also works with Westcott's FJ series grip accessories.
How do I clean and maintain the strobe?
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the housing. For the flash tube and reflector, gently remove dust with a blower brush. Keep the unit in a cool, dry place when not in use.
What does the error code on the LCD mean?
Error codes indicate issues like over temperature (E01) or battery failure (E02). Turn off the unit, let it cool, and restart. If persists, contact Westcott support.
Can I use the FJ200 while charging?
Yes, the FJ200 supports pass-through power, allowing you to run the strobe directly from the AC adapter even if the battery is low, but it will not charge the battery during use.
