Product Information

Full details

The Westcott FJ80 II M is designed for professional event and wedding photographers who require a versatile, high-output lighting solution that works across multiple camera systems. Its standout benefit is the intuitive 2.8-inch color touchscreen coupled with a round-head design that produces natural-looking light falloff, though users should note that the proprietary lithium-polymer battery system requires specific management compared to standard AA-powered speedlights.

How do I update the firmware?

Can I use external power sources?

Is the head motorized for zoom?

Troubleshooting

Flash fails to fire at high shutter speeds

Ensure that High-Speed Sync (HSS) mode is enabled on both the camera and the flash settings.

Touchscreen is unresponsive

Perform a power cycle by removing and reinserting the battery, and ensure the screen is clean and free of moisture.

Inconsistent exposure in TTL mode

Verify that your camera's exposure compensation is set to zero and ensure the flash is firmly seated in the hot shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your FJ80 II M, insert the provided lithium-polymer battery until it clicks into place. Power on the unit by long-pressing the power button, then use the touchscreen to select your camera system in the settings menu. Ensure your firmware is updated via the USB-C port to maintain compatibility with the latest camera bodies. To care for the unit, avoid touching the flash tube with bare fingers, as oils can cause uneven heating. Store the battery at roughly 50% charge if you are not using the flash for an extended period, and always keep the flash head clean of dust or debris. The unit is compatible with various magnetic light modifiers, which attach directly to the front rim for rapid changes on location.
