Overview
Triggering and controlling Godox Wireless Flash require using Godox Wireless Flash units
receiver attached or installed. Once the transmitter module is installed in your L-858D,
you will be able to adjust the power level and trigger flashes to get the look you desire.
For more information about the meter, refer to the L-858D Operating Manual.
For more information about Godox Wireless radio systems, go to http://www.godox.com/
EN/index.html
NOTICE
Successful radio triggering depends on several factors. Please read these setup steps
before using the L-858D to radio trigger flash units.
1. It is the best to position the meter in sight of the radio receiver (or flash head).
2. Position the radio receiver so that it is away from large metallic objects, concrete, or
containers of water (like people).
3. Sometimes, conditions do not allow radio reception. These could include strong
local radio interference or being near objects that block or absorb the signal.
Repositioning the radio, even slightly, can reestablish contact. Alternatively, check to
see if the radio receiver is behind objects that absorb or block radio waves, such as
concrete, metal or low hill.
4. Operation is the best when the meter to receiver distance is within 30 meters (100
feet).

7. Press the Measuring Button 6.
The flash will fire and the measured value (F-stop) will be displayed.
NOTICE
In case of the following, please follow “Cord Flash Mode” (
).
● When firing the flash, if the flash brightness is lower than the ambient light, the meter
may fail to detect the light.
● Rapid start fluorescent lamps and special lighting are sometimes mistaken for flash and
accidentally measured.
● Even if the flash does not fire, when a sudden light change occurs in the light receptor,
measurement may be made.
● The waveform of a flash bulb has a slight slope and there is a possibility that the light
meter cannot recognize the flash bulb.
NOTE
● For red-eye prevention and auto-flash light adjustment, some devices can pre-flash
before main flash burst. With the normal setting, the light meter will measure the pre-
flash bursts and not the main flash burst. To take a successful reading, activate the pre-
flash feature in the Tool Box. Please refer to the L-858D Operating Manual.

NOTICE
● In case of the following, please follow “Cord Multi (Cumu.) Flash Mode” (

• When firing the flash, if the flash brightness is lower than the ambient light, the meter
may fail to detect the light.
• Rapid start fluorescent lamps and special lighting are sometimes mistaken for flash

● The EV scale cannot be displayed in the Radio Triggering Multi (Cumu.) Flash mode.
NOTE
● For red-eye prevention and auto-flash light adjustment, some devices can pre-flash
before main flash burst. With the normal setting, the light meter will measure the pre-
