modelling
mode
options
The
MODEL button on the Creo control panel
switches the modelling lamp on and off for any
connected flash heads. The associated LED
indicator will illuminate when turned ‘on’. If the
modelling lamps are switched ‘on’ the user can
then select a modelling mode. A single press of
the
MODE button will scroll through the various
modelling mode options; the associated LED
indicator will illuminate to highlight which mode is
selected. When the modelling lamps are switched
‘off’ the various ‘modelling modes’ cannot be
selected or changed and the LED indicators will
remain ‘off’. Any previous modelling mode settings
will be remembered and reverted to when the
modelling lamps are switched back ‘on’.
NB. Modelling will only work if the modelling switch
on the Creo flash head is turned ‘on’.
•
PROP - automatically adjusts the modelling
output proportionally to the flash power setting.
•
AUTO - automatically sets the modelling lamp
on the channel with the highest power setting to
max. When in AUTO mode, the modelling output
on the channel with the lowest flash power
setting will be set proportionally to the flash
power output on the channel with the highest
setting. If both channels are set to the same flash
power setting then the modelling output on both
channels will be set to max.
•
MAX - sets the modelling on both channels to
max regardless of flash power settings.
•
FREE - when FREE mode is first selected the
LED indicator will flash and the modelling
intensity on each channel will be displayed on
the appropriate channel LED displays. The
modelling output setting for each channel
can then be adjusted independently by using
the STOPS and TENTHS buttons regardless
of the flash power setting. Reducing the intensity
below ‘1.0’ will turn the modelling lamp ‘off’
and will be indicated on the appropriate channel
LED display by showing ‘- -’. The first press of
a ‘+’ STOPS or TENTHS button on the associated
channel will turn the lamp on at the lowest power
setting. When the modelling output has been
selected on each channel press the MODE
button and the chosen modelling outputs on the
appropriate channels will be set; the LED
indicator will then stay lit continuously and the
channel LED displays will revert back to
showing the flash power levels.
sync
options
The Creo generator can be sync’d with a camera in
a number of ways. Each press of the
SYNC button
will scroll through the various available options
and the appropriate LED indicator will highlight the
selected option.
•
OFF - both LED indicators will be switched ‘off’.
In this mode the Creo generator will only trigger
from a camera or flash meter connected using a
sync cord to either 1/4” jack sync sockets (see
pack overview on page 4).
•
CELL - in this mode the Creo will sync via the
‘Photocell / IR Receiver window’. The Creo will
trigger when either an IR signal is received or
when the photocell detects a flash from another
unit.
•
RADIO - when this option is first selected the
appropriate LED indicator will flash for ten
seconds. During this ten second window the
Creo enters ‘learn mode’. While in ‘learn mode’
the user can sync a Pulsar transmitter with a
Pulsar radio receiver card by pressing the
TEST button on the Pulsar transmitter at least
five times (or until Creo flashes).
