If the power pack Nano 2 is operated with two lamp bases, the proportionality of the
modelling light can be ensured by setting its proportionality level one digit lower in
relation to the other power packs in use (e.g.: level 2 instead of level 3).
The following operating modes are possible:
"P"
Proportional modelling light with an output level up to 1200 J (with Nano 2)
respectively 2400 J (with Nano A4). This operating mode (highest
proportionality level) is recommended, when exclusively Nano power packs with
the same output level are in use in one working session.
"P1"
Proportional modelling light with broncolor power packs up to 6400 J
"P2"
Proportional modelling light with broncolor power packs up to 3200 J
(= ex works setting for Nano A4)
"P3"
Proportional modelling light with broncolor power packs up to 1600 J
(= ex works setting for Nano 2)
"P4/5" If a power pack is operated at a relatively low output level, the halogen
modelling light will be relatively weak and yellowish. To counteract this problem,
the Nano power packs are equipped with two additional modelling light
proportionality levels: "P4" for 800 J or less and "P5" for 400 J or less. Thus the
brightness of the modelling light can be increased.
"HI"
All lamp bases operate at full modelling light power independent of flash output.
This setting will allow video recordings using the modelling lamps.
"LO"
Lighting level is reduced for all lamps independent of the flash output to reduce
power consumption and extend the burning life of the halogen lamps.
Pressing the “mod” key (2) for 1 second when the modelling light is on will give direct
access to the "HI" mode. To return to the previous mode briefly press the "mod" key.

Example 1: A power pack Nano 2 is operated together with a power pack Topas A8
Evolution. The modelling light is proportional when both are set to level
"prop1".
