Multi Group Power Adjustment
To adjust the power level of ALL active groups, simply turn the selection dial left (to
decrease) or right (to increase) to the desired power level. (ADD FIG)
12.2 Absolute Power
V6 not only command flashes to fire at their own relative power ratio, It has the ability to
benchmark the absolute power level, i.e. its absolute lighting intensity, of different flash models
in your set up and command them to fire with the same intensity of light .
When V6 is in Absolute Power mode, V6 will benchmark the flashes to the same light intensity
scale in EV despite of its relative power ratio. Increase the power level on V6 will increase the
absolute light intensity of the flash or Group under command.
1. To change power mode to absolute power, switch on V6 in RX mode. Choose the correct
flash profiles for each of the V6 RX.
2. Switch on the V6 that you would like to be the commander in TX mode. Press
Menu
. Turn
the selection dial to <POWER MODE>, press
OK
. The current option will then be
highlighted. Turn the selection dial to <ABSOLUTE (SETUP)> and press
OK
to confirm.
3. The V6 TX will then collect the flash profiles from the V6 RX units and set up the absolute
power level scheme. Once the set up is finished, the LCD screen will return to the main
screen again and show the absolute light intensity of the four groups.
4. The adjustment of power levels is the same as in the relative power mode (see Section
12.1.1 and 12.1.2)
5. Each figure before decimal place represents 1 EV and the figure after 1/10 EV.
(Fig. 16)
6. The absolute power set up will not be saved upon switching off the V6 TX. When you
switch on the V6 next time, it will start up in relative power mode.
7. Due to the differences in the environment where users undergo the flash set up, the
absolute light intensity of a particular flash model may be different from another flash that
has been set to the same absolute light intensity. In this case, you may fine tune the
custom flash profile by adjusting its overall output up to +/- 1EV. In RX, press
Menu
and
dial to <CHOOSE FLASH>. Press
OK
and dial to the custom flash profile that you would
