Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Westcott FJ80 Universal Touchscreen Speedlight. The FJ80 is the perfect

addition to the growing family of FJ series of wireless communication products; FJ400 Strobe, FJ200

Strobe, FJ-X2m Wireless Trigger, and FJ-XR Wireless Receiver (all sold separately). The FJ80 is the

industry’s ﬁrst round head speedlight and transceiver equipped with multi-brand compatibility and

touchscreen controls. Doesn’t it feel good to own the ﬁrst product of its kind? Congratulations.

The FJ80 experience is like nothing you’ve ever experienced. The round head provides a more natural

light output mimicking the big light in the sky leading to more appealing catchlights in your subject’s

eyes and evenly ﬁlling up cylindrical modiﬁers from the center to the edge. It’s compact, lightweight, and

performance-driven, which means it’s perfect for both on-camera and oﬀ-camera photography. That’s

right, you’re now capable of replacing your on-camera speedlight with the FJ80 and have complete

control of all of your oﬀ-camera FJ Wireless gear. Pretty cool, right?

The FJ80 also doubles as a transceiver, meaning it can both send and receive wireless communication.

Already own an FJ-X2m Wireless Trigger, CanonRT device, or maybe this is your second FJ80

Speedlight? Perfect. This is where the fun really begins. With the ability to receive wireless

communications from any of these devices, the FJ80 oﬀ-camera capabilities allow you to squeeze it into

the smallest spaces or reach new heights to achieve your desired lighting eﬀect.

One last thing and this is the important one. Don’t forget that Westcott HQ is based in Maumee, OH and

our team’s available to answer your questions, Monday-Friday 9am-5pm ET. We also have a community

of Westcott loyal users who are ready to share their tips-and-tricks via the Westcott Lighting Community

on Facebook during the week or on the weekend.

We hope you’re excited to get started with your new gear, because we’re excited to see what you create.

Thank you for your business.

-Team Westcott

Important things to know before starting…

Reviewing Firmware Files

Firmware updates will be made available on the FJ80 product page (https://www.westcott.com/4750) to

improve the performance of the FJ Wireless System. Please review ALL documentation included with

each ﬁrmware download to ensure all of the necessary preparation steps are complete before installing

the ﬁrmware.

TTL ±3 Flash Exposure Compensation

±3 TTL Flash Exposure Compensation (FEC) on the FJ-X2m Wireless Trigger or host FJ80 Universal

Speedlight (when used as a transmitter) is independent of the Flash Exposure Compensation (FEC) on

the FJ80 Speedlight (when used as a client). Meaning, a change of the FEC ±3 on the FJ-X2m or host

FJ80 will adjust the light output in TTL mode; however, a client FJ80’s touchscreen will not visually

indicate the FEC changes made on the FJ-X2m or host FJ80. The FJ80 FEC can be further adjusted ±3

on the client light directly.

Canon Continuous Mode

When photographing in Canon Continuous Mode, two overlapping-squares will be visible on the FJ-X2m

& FJ80 displays, and the FJ Wireless System will default to Manual Mode; disabling TTL and HSS

functionality. Exit Continuous Mode on the Canon camera to resume TTL and HSS functionality.

Flashes Per Charge

The FJ80 was designed to achieve 400+ full-power ﬂashes with every battery charge. Achieving this

requires that the screen intensity be set to MIN in the Settings Menu.

FJ80 Speedlight: Warnings

Caution

●IMPORTANT: During operation, the speedlight lens and various components of the FJ80

speedlight temperatures may increase. Please use caution while using to avoid severe burns or

injuries.

●Use only with the Westcott FJ80 Lithium Polymer Battery and Charger.

●Do not touch the speedlight lens after immediate use to avoid potential injury.

●Never leave unattended around children and/or pets.

●Always conﬁrm proper installation, locking, and unlocking when adding or removing from the

camera hot shoe. (NOTE: Failure to completely rotate and unlock could result in damaging the

locking pin.)

●Keep away from ﬁre, water, and moisture.

●Do not submerge in water.

●Avoid drastic temperature changes before, during, or after use.

●Always remove the FJ80 Lithium Polymer Battery from the FJ80 Speedlight during travel/storage

to avoid accidental operation, which could lead to overheating or permanent damage.

●Do not force adjust or add excessive weight to the speedlight head.

●Only use the FJ80 Speedlight with FJ80 compatible mounts, brackets, modiﬁers and/or

accessories.

●Do not attempt to disassemble or modify any Westcott products. Contact Westcott for assistance.

●The operating temperature range is 14°~122°F / -10~50°C).

Dual-stage Heat Protection System

The FJ80 is equipped with a self-monitoring system ensuring safe operation during continued full-power

use during a short timeframe. The monitoring system provides a staged automatic shutoﬀ scenario;

●Stage 1: Once the speedlight reaches an internal operating temperature of 131°F (55°C), the

screen will display a yellow [OH]. The recycle time will also increase to 2 seconds in eﬀorts to

cool the unit while allowing for further operation.

●Stage 2: Once the strobe reaches an internal operating temperature of 167°F (75°C), the screen

will display a red [OH] icon. The unit will be inoperable for an estimated 10 minutes until an

adequate internal temperature has been reached to continue operation.

●Once the unit has cooled, the red [OH] will disappear from the touchscreen, and it will then be

safe to continue operation.

FJ80 Speedlight: Firmware Updates

The FJ80 Speedlight is designed with a USB-C port to allow for ﬁrmware updates only. Future ﬁrmware

updates will result in performance enhancements, modiﬁed menu options, and improved menu layouts.

Please visit westcott.com/4750 to conﬁrm your speedlight has the latest ﬁrmware before using.

Installing the Firmware

1. Visit westcott.com/4750 and scroll to the Support section. Find and download the latest

ﬁrmware FJ80 ﬁrmware ZIP ﬁle.

a. NOTE: Various browsers may automatically unzip the ZIP ﬁle. In this scenario, skip to Step

#3.

2. Unzip the ﬁle and open the extracted folder.

3. IMPORTANT: Read ALL FILES in the extracted folder (i.e., README, Changelog, etc.).

4. Ensure the FJ80 is OFF and cooled before installing the ﬁrmware.

5. Connect the USB-A to USB-C cable to the FJ80’s USB-C port.

6. Standard operating systems will present the speedlight as an external drive device.

a. NOTE: MacOS may display the external device on the desktop or in the Finder window.

7. Locate the .BIN ﬁle on your computer and drag the ﬁle to the FJ80 (external device).

a. NOTE: The ﬁle ending in .BIN will be the ONLY ﬁle copied to the FJ80.

8. Once the ﬁle has been copied to the FJ80, EJECT the FJ80 from the computer.

9. Remove the USB-C cable from the FJ80 and reinsert the battery.

10. Long press the Power | Test button on the FJ80, tap the blue power logo on the screen to initiate

the ﬁrmware update. Finally, conﬁrm installation was successful by locating the ﬁrmware text in

the bottom right corner of the screen during the start-up process.

Important Installation Information

●If FJ devices don’t display as an external device after being connected to the computer, then

please disconnect the USB cable from both devices, restart the computer, and restart the

ﬁrmware installation process.

●It’s recommended that the ﬁrmware update installation process be completed only when the

connected computer’s power level is ≥ 50%. Loss of power of any type during this process could

render the FJ80 inoperable and require professional repair.

●Removing the USB-C cable from the FJ80 without properly ejecting the FJ80 from your computer

could render the speedlight inoperable and require professional repair.

●Depending on the operating system and the applications running, copying the ﬁrmware from your

computer to the FJ80 may take a few minutes and/or halt the copying process. Should this

happen, close the copy progress window and try again. Further copying issues may require that

the computer be restarted.
