1. Mounting the Flash and Trigger

The Godox IT32 flash unit is designed to be used with the X5S trigger. The X5S trigger mounts onto your Sony camera's hot shoe, and the IT32 flash unit then attaches magnetically to the X5S trigger.

  1. Attach X5S Trigger: Slide the X5S trigger onto your Sony camera's hot shoe mount until it clicks into place. Secure it using the locking mechanism if available.
  2. Attach IT32 Flash: Align the IT32 flash unit with the magnetic base of the X5S trigger. The flash unit will snap into place magnetically. This allows for quick attachment and detachment, and easy switching between on-camera and off-camera use.

Instrukcja obsługi

1. Flash Modes (TTL, Manual, HSS)

The Godox IT32 supports various flash modes for different shooting scenarios:

  • Tryb TTL (przez obiektyw): This mode automatically adjusts the flash output for correct exposure by measuring the light through the camera's lens. To activate, select TTL mode on the X5S trigger's touchscreen.
  • Tryb ręczny (M): Allows you to manually set the flash output from 1/128 to 1/1 power, with fine adjustments in 1/3 stop increments. Use the X5S trigger's interface to adjust the power level.
  • Synchronizacja z dużą prędkością (HSS): Enables flash synchronization at shutter speeds faster than the camera's native sync speed, useful for freezing motion or using wide apertures in bright conditions. Activate HSS through the X5S trigger settings.
  • Front/Rear Curtain Sync: Controls whether the flash fires at the beginning (front curtain) or end (rear curtain) of the exposure. This is useful for creative effects with moving subjects.

  • Obrót poziomy: The flash head can rotate up to 270 degrees horizontally.
  • Pochylenie pionowe: The flash head can tilt up to 90 degrees vertically.
