Frequently Asked Questions - V350 GODOX

How do I set up the V350S as a wireless master or slave unit?

Long press the Wireless Selection Button for 2 seconds until the icon blinks. Turn the Select Dial to choose Master (icon with a dot) or Slave (icon with arrows). Press SET to confirm. Ensure both master and slave are on the same channel and wireless ID.

What is the maximum number of consecutive flashes at full power before overheating?

At full power (1/1), you can fire up to 30 consecutive flashes. After that, the flash will activate over-temperature protection and require a rest of at least 10 minutes to cool down. The LCD will show a temperature warning icon.

How do I use the stroboscopic (Multi) flash mode?

Press Mode Selection Button until Multi appears. Set the flash output (1/4 to 1/128) using the Select Dial. Then press SET to adjust flash frequency (Hz) and number of flashes. Use the formula Number of flashes / Frequency = Shutter speed to set camera shutter.

Why doesn't my flash fire when attached to the camera?

Common causes: battery exhausted (blinking battery icon), battery installed incorrectly, flash not fully inserted into hotshoe, or dirty electrical contacts. Check the battery orientation, recharge if needed, and clean the hotshoe contacts with a dry cloth.

How can I update the firmware of the V350S?

Download the Godox G2 firmware upgrade software from the official website. Connect the flash to your computer via Micro USB cable (not included). Run the software, select the firmware file, and follow on-screen instructions. The current version is shown as U-x.x when pressing the SET button while turning on.

What is the maximum shutter speed supported with high-speed sync?

The V350S supports high-speed sync (HSS) up to 1/8000 second. Press the High-Speed Sync Button to enable HSS (icon displayed). Note that using HSS reduces effective flash range and may trigger over-temperature protection after 15 consecutive flashes.

How do I use the wide panel to cover 14mm lenses?

Pull out the built-in wide panel from the flash head until it clicks over the flash tube. This extends the flash coverage to 14mm automatically. The catchlight panel will also pop out; push it back in if not needed. The ZOOM will be locked at 14mm while the wide panel is deployed.

How do I adjust flash exposure compensation (FEC) in TTL mode?

In TTL mode, press the SET Button to highlight the FEC value. Turn the Select Dial to adjust from -3 to +3 EV in 1/3 stop increments. Press SET again to confirm. Set to +0 to cancel compensation.

What does the over-temperature protection do and how to avoid it?

Over-temperature protection prevents flash head damage by limiting continuous firing. If triggered, the LCD shows a temperature icon and recycling time extends. To avoid it, allow 10 minutes rest after 30 full-power flashes or 15 HSS flashes. Use lower power levels for longer sequences.

How do I check the battery level on the V350S?

The LCD panel shows a battery icon with grids: 2 grids = full, 1 grid = medium, blank grid = low, blinking = critical (auto power off in 1 minute). Recharge immediately when low or blinking. The flash also disables ZOOM adjustment when battery is low.

For example, when you decrease the flash output to 1/2, 1/2-0.3, or 1/2-0.7, and then increase the flash output to more than 1/2, 1/2+0.3, 1/2+0.7, and 1/1 will be displayed.

Figures displayed when reducing flash output level→

	1/1-0.3	1/1-0.7		1/2-0.3	1/2-0.7	1/41	......
	1/2+0.7	1/2+0.3		1/4+0.7	1/4+0.3		21/1

Figures displayed when increasing flash output level

In the M mode, high-speed sync and rear curtain sync functions can be achieved.

Optical S1 Secondary Unit Setting

In M manual flash mode, press the button so that this flash can function as an optic S1 secondary flash with optic sensor. With this function, the flash will fire synchronously when the main flash fires, the same effect as that by the use of radio triggers. This helps create multiple lighting effects.

Optical S2 Secondary Unit Setting

Press the button so that this flash can also function as an optic S2 secondary flash with optic sensor in M manual flash mode. This is useful when cameras have pre-flash function. With this function, the flash will ignore a single "preflash" from the main flash and will only fire in response to the second, actual flash from the main unit.

- S1 and S2 optic triggering and off camera high-speed mode are only available in M manual flash mode.

Flash Mode – Multi: Stroboscopic Flash

With stroboscopic flash, a rapid series of flashes is fired. It can be used to capture a multiple images of a moving subject in a single photograph.

You can set the firing frequency (number of flashes per sec. expressed as Hz), the number of flashes, and the flash output.

1 Press button so that is displayed.

2 Turn the Select Dial to choose a desired flash output.

3 Set the flash frequency and flash times.

- Press the SET Button to select the flash frequency. Turn the Select Dial to set the number.

- Press the SET Button again to select the flash times. Turn the Select Dial to set the number.

Calculating the Shutter Speed

During stroboscopic flash, the shutter remains open until the firing stops. Use the formula below to calculate the shutter speed and set it with the camera.

Number of Flashes / Flash Frequency = Shutter Speed

For example, if the number of flashes is 10 and the firing frequency is 5 Hz, the shutter speed should be at least 2 seconds.

To avoid overheating and deteriorating the flash head, do not use stroboscopic flash more than 10 times in succession. After 10 times, allow the camera flash to rest for at least 15 minutes. If you try to use the stroboscopic flash more than 10 times in succession, the firing might stop automatically to protect the flash head. If this happens, allow at least 15 minutes' rest for the camera flash.

- Stroboscopic flash is most effective with a highly reflective subject against a dark background.

• Using a tripod and a remote control is recommended.

- Stroboscopic flash can be used with "buLb".

- If the number of flashes is displayed as “--”, the firing will continue until the shutter closes or the battery is exhausted. The number of flashes will be limited as shown by the following table.

Maximum Stroboscopic Flashes:

Flash output\Hz	1	2	3	4	5	6-7	8-9	10	20-50	60-99
1/4	6	3	2	2	2	2	2	2	2	2
1/8	14	14	6	4	3	3	3	2	2	2
1/16	30	30	30	20	10	8	5	3	3	3
1/32	60	60	60	50	50	40	12	5	5	5
1/64	90	90	90	80	80	70	60	20	10	10
1/128	90	90	90	90	90	90	80	70	30	20

The Reason & Solution of Not Triggering in Godox 2.4G Wireless

1. Disturbed by the 2.4G signal in outer environment (e.g. wireless base station, 2.4G wifi router, Bluetooth, etc.)

To adjust the channel CH setting on the flash trigger (add 10+ channels) and use the channel which is not disturbed. Or turn off the other 2.4G equipment in working.

1. Please make sure that whether the flash has finished its recycle or caught up with the continuous shooting speed or not (the flash ready indicator is lighten) and the flash is not under the state of over-heat protection or other abnormal situation.

→Please downgrade the flash power output. If the flash is in TTL mode, please try to change it to M mode(a preflash is needed in TTL mode).

1. Whether the distance between the flash trigger and the flash is too close or not

→Please turn on the "close distance wireless mode" on the flash trigger (<0.5m):

X1 series: press the test button and hold on, then turning it on until the flash ready indicator blinks for 2 times.

XPro series: Set the C.Fn-DIST to 0-30m.

1. Whether the flash trigger and the receiver end equipment are in the low battery states or not

→Please replace the battery(the flash trigger is recommended to use 1.5V disposable alkaline battery).

Other Applications

- When using on Interchangeable Lens Digital Cameras (e.g. ILCE6000L, a7RII, etc.), the auto focus assist beam of V350S does not light up.

- When only using on DSLR cameras (e.g. a99, a77II, etc.), the auto focus assist beam of V350S does light up.

Position	Effective Range
Center	0.6~4m
Periphery	0.6~2.5m

Bounce Flash

By pointing the flash head toward a wall or ceiling, the flash will bounce off the surface before illuminating the subject. This can soften shadows behind the subject for a more natural-looking shot. This is called bounce flash.

To set the bounce direction, hold the flash head and turn it to a satisfying angle.

• If the wall or ceiling is too far away, the bounced flash might be too weak and result in underexposure.
• The wall or ceiling should be a plain, white color for high reflectance. If the bounce surface is not white, a color cast may appear in the picture.

Creating a Catchlight

With the catchlight panel, you can create a catchlight in the subject's eyes to add life to the facial expression.

2 Push the wide panel back in.
- Push in only the wide panel.
- Follow the same procedures as for bounce flash.

• Point the flash head straight ahead and then upward by 90°. The catchlight will not appear if you swing the flash head left or right.
• For best catchlight effect, stay 1.5m/4.9ft away from the subject.

ZOOM: Setting the Flash Coverage and Using the Wide Panel

The flash coverage can be set automatically or manually. It can be set to match the lens focal length from 24mm to 105mm. Also, with the built-in wide panel, the flash coverage can be expanded for 14mm wide-angle lenses.

In Manual Zoom mode, press the button.
