This feature can be turned on or off, set to auto based on the current power level, or switched to manual (where it can be modified by hand). All adjustments can be viewed on the LCD display.
A lithium-ion battery is included with the A1X, & provides a capacity of 450 full power flashes that has a capacity of 450 full power flashes (instead of the previous model's 350). The battery operates at peak performance until it is depleted, rather than fading as the battery drains.

All ofthe "Air Remote" wireless controllers are able to trigger the A1X at distances of up to 1000 ft., & the "Air Sync" will provide you with simple wireless triggering, while the "Air Remote" lets you wirelessly adjust power, channel selection, grouping, & modeling light on/off.
