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.

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
