In Freeze mode, the flash head offers a peak action-stopping duration of 1/24,000 seconds and can achieve up to 50 frames per second, depending on the camera and power settings. It also supports high-speed sync up to 1/8000 second, along with both front and rear curtain sync options. Additionally, users can modify flash exposure compensation within a range of -3 to +3 EV. The FJ400 II is designed for both studio environments and on-location photography.

Creative Mask Mode

Alongside the fundamental manual and TTL flash modes, there are several useful settings, including the Westcott Creative Mask feature, which is particularly beneficial for high-volume and fast-paced photography sessions. This feature allows photographers to generate as many as six different lighting combinations without the need to reposition the fixtures. The FJ400 II's touchscreen interface enables users to effortlessly manage the timing of each light's activation in a sequence, facilitating the capture of various dynamic appearances from a single arrangement.

Additionally, users have the option to purchase the FJ ProMax battery, which offers a higher capacity and can deliver up to 1000 flashes at full power.
