Task and function
The device is used for illuminating photographs indoors. It can be used on
a stand or pantograph.
The device can be used in the following operating modes:
STD (Standard)
FREEZE
FP (Focal Plane)
TTL
The “STD” mode has the best ratio between flash duration and color
rendering. This mode is recommended for most shooting situations, but
especially for color-critical applications in the field of object photography,
architectural photography and reproductions. Full energy range, no display
of the flash duration.
The FREEZE mode provides shortest flash durations for freezing fast
movements. This mode is recommended for dynamic photography in the
area of people, fashion and sports photography, but also for capturing,
e.g. water splashes in product photography. Full energy range, display of
the flash duration.
The FP mode offers the longest flash durations for the use of short
exposure times (shorter than the “sync time”) with focal plane shutter
cameras.
The length of the exposure time also affects the intensity of the flash
in this mode. The optional IO TTL transmitter must be switched to HSS
and the shortest exposure time that can actually be used must be
determined by test shots (deviations from camera to camera). Limited
energy range, display of the flash duration.
The FP mode must be used in conjunction with the HSS function. This
allows the proportion of continuous light (e.g. daylight) to be reduced in
mixed light situations and/or a relatively open f-stop can be used in bright
available light.
In TTL mode, the flash is automatically controlled by an IO TTL transmitter
(optional) on the camera. This mode is suitable for fast, spontaneous
shooting with little time for preparation. The energy adjustment is
performed by the camera (full energy range), no display of the flash
duration. When the flash is operated manually in TTL mode, it operates as
in Freeze mode.
The device has a bright and proportionally adjustable model light. In
addition, the device is equipped with “Autored”, an automatic model light
