PocketWizard has announced the release of Version 5.0 for the MiniTT1 Transmitter (check prices at B&H) and FlexTT5 Transceiver (check prices at B&H).

Updates include three new features:

• Rear curtain sync allows the photographer to set the shutter speed at which rear curtain sync automatically engages while optimizing the timing of rear curtain sync to fire at the absolute end of the shutter opening.
• Pre-Flash Boost provides enhanced E-TTL performance when using flash diffusers, doing bounce flash, or at ranges just beyond the normal E-TTL capabilities
• Automatic Camera Detection provides the system with the ability to automatically detect exactly what camera is being used to optimize system performance precisely for that camera

Complete Details of the all features in the upgrade can be found in the Pocketwizard Version 5.0 manual addendum.
