Rotolight AEOS, User Manual

Page: 10 / 40

Recommended settings for simple one-light setup:
1. Set flash power to MAX
2. Set flash duration to 1/50th (any faster shutter speed
(e.g. 1/100th) will be automatically captured)
3. Set colour temperature (kelvin) to mid point
colour, see page 7.
Shooting in High Speed Sync
AEOS is capable of High Speed Sync flash (HSS).
HSS allows you to utilise the flash of AEOS, at speeds
faster than your camera’s native internal sync speed
(typically 1/125th or 1/250th).
Rotolight HSS trigger by Elinchrom:
To shoot in High Speed Sync, you will need an
HSS wireless transmitter, such as the Rotolight or
Elinchrom HSS transmitter (both are compatible
with the internal receiver inside the AEOS). Currently
Rotolight HSS triggers by Elinchrom are available
for Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, Olympus/Panasonic and
Sony cameras.
See page 14 for transmitter set up instructions.
Using third party Triggers :
Alternatively, you can connect third party flash
receivers which have a PC sync or 3.5mm flash output,
with a PC sync/3.5mm cable to the 3.5mm mono jack
trigger input located on the rear of AEOS.
PLEASE CHECK THAT YOUR CAMERA AND TRIGGER
EQUIPMENT IS CAPABLE OF HIGH SPEED SYNC.
