Status LEDs

Device status is shown by the LEDs on the WR-R11a/WR-R11b and WR-T10.

WR‑R11a/WR‑R11b

The LED display for the WR-R11a/WR-R11b varies with the option selected for [Flash control] > [Wireless flash options] in the camera photo shooting menu.

[Off] Selected for [Wireless Flash Options]

The table below lists the possible states for the LEDs on the WR‑R11a/WR-R11b when the controller is used with a WR-T10 or WR-1 or another WR-R11a/WR-R11b. Device status is shown by the green and red LEDs in combination. The following also applies in the case of cameras that do not have a [Flash control] > [Wireless flash options] item in the photo shooting menu.

Status/color		Description
Green	Red	Description
Off	Flashes rapidly (about twice a second)	The shutter-release button is pressed halfway. ¹
Off	On	The shutter-release button is pressed all the way down. ¹
On	On	Exposure in progress. ²
Off	Flashes rapidly (2 flashes about twice a second)	The Fn button on a WR‑T10 or on a WR‑1 configured independently as a transmitter is pressed.
Flashes (at approximately 2‑second intervals)	Off	The camera standby timer is off.
Flashes rapidly (about twice a second)	Off	The camera standby timer is on.
Flashes rapidly (about 5 times a second)	Off	Ready to pair.
Flash on and off in rapid succession, followed by green LED lighting for about a second		Pairing complete.
Flickers (flashes approximately 20 times a second)	Off	Ending pairing.
Light twice simultaneously		Pairing terminated.

Displayed when the shutter-release button on the master camera, WR‑T10, or WR-1 is pressed. The same behavior is exhibited by the LEDs on all WR-R11a/WR-R11b controllers.
Applies to cameras other than the D3, D3X, D3s, D2H, D2Hs, D2X, D2Xs, D700, D300, D300s, D7000, D5100, D5000, D3100, and film cameras.

Option Other Than [Off] Selected for [Wireless Flash Options]

The possible states for the LEDs on WR-R11a/WR-R11b controllers used in combination with SB-5000 flash units are listed below. The state of the green and red lamps varies with connection or button status.

Green LED

On: The controller has connected with the remote flash unit.

Off: The controller has not connected with the remote flash unit.

Flashes rapidly (about 5 times a second): The controller is ready for pairing (when pairing is complete, the green and red LEDs will flash on and off in succession before the green LED lights for about a second).

Flickers (flashes about 20 times a second): Pairing is ending (the green and red LEDs will light twice simultaneously when pairing ends).

Red LED

On: The shutter-release button has been pressed all the way down. ¹

Flashes rapidly (about twice a second): The shutter-release button has been pressed halfway. ¹

Flashes rapidly (2 flashes about twice a second): The Fn button on a WR-T10, or on a WR-1 configured independently as a transmitter, has been pressed.

Blinks slowly (lights for about a second at approximately 2 second intervals): The controller has not connected with the remote flash unit.

Flashes slowly (lights for about 0.1 seconds at approximately 2 second intervals): The controller has not connected with the remote flash unit. ²

Displayed when the shutter-release button on the master camera, WR‑T10, or WR-1 is pressed. The same behavior is exhibited by the LEDs on all WR-R11a/WR-R11b controllers.
Applies when multiple cameras are assigned the same PIN and another camera is connected to an SB-5000 flash unit.

Disabling the LEDs

If the camera features a [Wireless remote (WR) options] item in the setup menu, the LEDs on the WR‑R11a/WR‑R11b can be disabled by selecting [Off] for [LED lamp].

First Use

It may take some time for the LEDs to begin flashing when the camera is first turned on after the WR‑R11a/WR‑R11b is attached, but photography can nevertheless proceed as normal.

WR-T10

Status	Description
Flashes rapidly (about twice a second)	The shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
Lights for about 2 seconds and then dims	The shutter-release button is pressed all the way down.
Flashes 2 times about twice a second	The Fn button is pressed.
About 7 long flashes	Ready to pair.
Lights once and then lights briefly 3 times in succession	Battery inserted.
