2.While continuing to hold the ALL

button, press either the double-arrow
up or down FLASHPOWER 

buttons

(for full stop adjust) or the single-arrow
up or down FLASHPOWER

buttons

(for 1/10 f-stop adjust). The display
should increment up or down with
each button press, indicating the exact
modification which is simultaneously
being made to the flashpower of all
active Channels. For instance, a display
value of -0.7 indicates that the flash-
power of each unit is being reduced by
7/10 of an f-stop, as is the intensity of
each  modeling  lamp  (assuming  the
modeling lamps are in the model track-
ing mode).

When you release the ALL button

then look at the flashpower settings
you will see that the flashpower of each
individual channel has been reduced by
exactly 0.7f.Thus, you have reduced the
exposure by 7/10 f-stop while keeping
exactly the same ratio between light
units.

3. If you were to then press the ALL

button a second time, the display would
again indicate 0.0,allowing you to make a
further modification to all channels by
pressing the appropriate up or down
arrow keys and again releasing the ALL
button.

Over-Range/Under-Rang

e

It is of great importance when brack-

eting exposures that one does not alter

the ratio between flash units, as this
would  alter  what  the  scene  actually
"looks" like. Accordingly, it is important
that using the ALL function does not
cause any one flash unit to try to go
brighter than Full P ower (-0.0f),or dim-
mer than it’s Minimum po wer

(-6.2f).

Visualize a scene where one light is at

Full  Pow e r ( - 0 . 0 f ) , one  light  is  at
Minimum po wer (-6.2f) and the rest of
the lights are at some value in between.
In this scenario, it would be impossible to
"bracket" up or down without altering
the ratio between the lights, as the
brightest light cannot produce more than
Full P ower , while the dimmest one can-
not go below -6.2f without going Off.

The RadioRemote One keeps you

from making this mistake. Here’s how:

1.When using the ALL button togeth-

er with the FLASHPOWER

up/down

buttons, attempting to cause any one
channel to go higher than 0.0f or lower
than -6.2f will cause the system to stop
incrementing or decrementing and to
display the Channel Number

which

has  reached  either  M a x i m um  or
Minimum P ower.

2. In the event that more than one

channel has reached Full or Minimum
Pow er 
and the channel number first
indicated on the display has been individ-
ually adjusted to allow further bracket-
ing,the next Channel which is at Full or
Minimum Pow er will now be indicated
in the display.
