Section 18.2).
2. Choose the flash system. Input the guide number of your flash at the zoom angle
at 105mm (which is the benchmark of the pre-installed profiles in the V6 II).

the power adjustment that you would like to achieve in each of the reference
power level.
4. Enter the profile name in 1-6 letters or numbers.
5. Press STORE PROFILE button. The custom profile will be loaded to the connected
V6 II.
To choose the saved flash profile from the profile list, see Section 11.2. All custom
profiles will be stored under the flash system <CUSTOM> in the <FLASH PROFILE>
menu.
