What is the Godox SHOOT setting for?

Photography Asked on May 26, 2021

I was going through my Godox transmitter settings, and there’s this cryptic one called SHOOT:

What do those three settings mean? And when would I want to use them? The Godox user manual isn’t very clear on this.

One Answer

Use these settings to control how and when the transmitters send settings changes out to the lights. More specifically, when you have multiple shooters sharing the same lights, or if you want to remotely adjust your strobe settings and use a remote shutter.

The settings are:

  • One-head icon. Single shooter mode: To save on battery power, settings for the lights are only pushed out after you change a setting on the transmitter.

  • three-head icon. Multiple shooter mode: To avoid having the wrong settings on the lights between shared shooters, settings are pushed out to the lights for every shot, regardless of whether they've been changed on the transmitter.

  • APP. Application mode. So-called because it was designed to work in conjunction with the GodoxPhoto app for smart device remote control of the lights via bluetooth-enabled Godox transmitters (e.g., the X2T or A1). But it can still be useful without the smartphone app.

    This mode means the transmitter only sends the sync (fire) command and never overwrites settings. Useful if you to use the app or a second transmitter as an in-hand remote or cabled to a light meter to fire and adjust power on the lights.

X1T equivalent custom functions

On the X1T, this functionality was not included on initial release, and was added in firmware updates as two additional custom functions:

  • Non-Fuji versions: C.Fn-08 is multi-shooter mode and C.Fn-09 is APP mode.
  • X1T-F: C.Fn-09 is multi-shooter mode and C.Fn-10 is APP mode.

Having both turned off puts you in single-shooter mode. I have no clue what happens if you turn them both on. :D
