selected by the use of the four-way navigation button, or “NB”. Note: The antenna must
be installed for the PocketWizard Mode to enable.
Press the cancel button to exit a menu without accepting change
Press the OK button to confirm a selection
Press the top or bottom of the navigation button
(NB) to navigate among menu options.
Press the right arrow of the NB to display/enable a
cascaded menu and press the left side of the NB to
remove/disable the cascaded menu.
During normal camera operation, activate the user menu by pressing the Menu button.
Press the down arrow of the NB nine times, or the up arrow once, to highlight the
PocketWizard option. Press the right arrow of the NB to access the PocketWizard
options.
This document represents the latest PocketWizard functionality, the look of these menus are subject to change
3/19/2004 Using the PocketWizard options with the Kodak 14n and Kodak 14SLR v 2.1.doc
The following screen is displayed.
Pressing the right arrow of the NB allows you to
view the options of any of the selections. After a
selection has been made, pressing the OK button on
the back of the camera will save that option.
Selecting the Mode enables the following window
That displays the primary PocketWizard functions.
b. Transmit Mode
Selecting Transmit places this camera in Transmit
Mode. When the shutter is triggered, any remote
flash units or cameras set in receive mode, and
enabled on the same channel as this camera, will
fire.
c. Receive Mode
Selecting Receive places this camera in Receive Mode. When another PocketWizard
device (camera or PocketWizard MultiMax) is triggered, this camera will receive a signal
and fire, taking a picture. This camera must be on the same channel and zone as the
PocketWizard triggering device.
d. Setting the Channel
To set the Transmit Channel, use the
NB, selecting either the ones or tens
digits. The digits can be
incremented or decremented using
the up and down portion of the NB.
If the tens digit is highlighted and
the current number displayed is “1”
pressing the up portion of the NB
will cause this digit to become “2”. The right side of the NB would then be used to select
the ones digit. The user then uses the up or down function of the NB to select which
Channel 20 to 29 that will be used.
Once the Channel is set, press the OK button on the camera.
The Receive channel is set in the same manner.

e. Setting the Zone
Zone selection is available on channels 17 – 32 only.
To set the Transmit Zone, press the up or down
portion of the NB to highlight one of the Zones A,
B, C, or D. Once the Zone is highlighted, press the
right portion of the NB to enable selection of either
ON or OFF. Use the up/down portion of the NB to
configure that Zone to ON or OFF. Once that Zone
has been configured, press the OK button. All four
Zones are configured in a similar manner.
The Receive Zone is set by selecting an appropriate Zone
and pressing OK.
f. Test Flash
Pressing the down arrow of the NB once from this position highlights the Test Flash
option. Pressing the OK button will cause any remote units that are set in receive mode
to perform a test “pop.”
Once this has been accomplished, the screen displays the results of the “Test Flash”.
The screen to the left indicates, by the display of the
lightning bolt symbol, that both radio and flash were
confirmed in zone A. Note: to detect an actual burst of
light from a flash, a PocketWizard Confirmation Sensor
must be connected to the flash. Confirmation of this
burst of light is indicated by a lighting bolt symbol on
the display. Zone B has radio confirmation but no flash
confirmation. Zone C failed because that zone is
enabled but no radio was found. Zone D is turned off.
Corrections to the setup can now be done and the system can be tested again using the
OK button on the camera or, if the CANCEL button is pressed, the menu returns to the
PocketWizard home menu.

The Test Flash option will confirm RF communication with all receivers that are enabled
on the current channel, and pop any flash units that are connected to those receivers. If
the camera radio is set up as a receiver, this mode will be grayed out.
g. Test Radio
The Test Radio menu allows the user to “ping” radios
that are enabled, determining if they are available for
trigger, without popping the flash.
h. Flash Confirmation
Flash confirmation is a feature that allows the user to examine the status of the strobes
after each shot if this option is set to ON.
After each shot, the
camera’s screen displays
the radios that were
detected. The display is
identical to the “Test
Flash” screen shown
previously. (The screen is
repeated here for clarity.) If all enabled Zones confirm after
a picture is taken, this screen will not appear. This screen
will only appear if one or more Zones fail.
i. Relay Mode
Selecting Relay places this camera in Relay Mode. When another device (camera or
PocketWizard MultiMax) is triggered, this camera will receive the signal, switch to
Transmit mode, and relay the trigger signal to another camera(s) and/or associated flash
unit(s).
Selecting Off turns off the radio and all associated functionality.

j. Speed Cycler Mode
The camera can also be placed in SpeedCycler Mode. This option allows the flash to be
to be triggered sequentially to allow multiple flash units to cycle faster than possible
with the refresh rate of a single flash. This option is either set “ON” or “OFF.”
3. Installing the Antenna
The antenna connector is threaded, and screws
into the camera’s PC port. The PC port of the
camera functions normally when the antenna is
removed. If radio functions are attempted with
the antenna removed, the following message
appears.
4. Software and Upgrade
Software Version
The software version of the PocketWizard radio is
displayed. Should a software upgrade be availabley,
the radio can be reprogrammed through the 10-pin
port on the front of the camera.
