High Speed

When using the Creamsource at 100%, it is flicker free to over 10,000fps.  However 

when dimming, or when using a Bender which is not set to Maximum Output, flicker 

can become noticeable at speeds over 700fps.

There is dedicated High Speed mode on all Daylight and Tungsten units (not the 

Bender) which allows for flicker free at up to 2,000fps when dimming the unit.  This 

can be enabled by selecting: MENU->Advanced->High Speed

When in High Speed mode the dimming will not be as smooth, or as ac

-

curate.  For smooth accurate dimming please disable High Speed mode.

Description of Modes

Different lighting modes and effects such as Strobe and Timed Flash are available under 

MENU->MODES.

Use the NEXT button to switch between 

settings for adjustment, and then the wheel 

to change that setting.  Each time NEXT is 

pressed, the next setting is selected

The ON/OFF and FLASH buttons can also 

be used as normal to switch the effect on/

off or to create ‘bursts’.
