FLASH INTERFACE
Titan™ flash with modelling light Overview
Titan™ is the first professional lighting fixture that provides an RGBWW High Speed Sync flash (HSS) at up to
1/8000th second, with no recycle time. You can flash in any colour temperature (3000-10,000 Kelvin), whilst
enjoying up to 200% more power (1 stop), than in regular continuous mode, and considerably preserving battery
power. Titan™ also gives you a fully adjustable modelling light so in a dark environment you can achieve optimal
focus, adjust the selected colour temperature of the flash/modelling light to match any ambient light in the
image, whilst previewing and optimizing the shadows in your image.
Rotolight HSS
Providing more than 200% of the normal maximum continuous output (in MAX+ mode), Rotolight HSS flash also
provides incredible colour accuracy (CRI 98, TLCI 99) with the ability to electronically tailor the diffusion, spread,
brightness, duration and colour temperature to your needs. The advantage of the Titan™ is that the modelling light
allows you to better compose your shot; letting you obtain focus and preview how the light will fall in the final image.
You can also shoot in high fps mode to ensure you never miss a shot (at any frame rate* and with no recycle time).
High Speed Sync, (HSS), allows flash to be synchronised at a shutter value beyond your camera’s normal X-Sync
speed (X-Sync is the speed at which your camera can synchronise the flash and the shutter, typically around
1/250th second). In so doing it allows you to freeze action, or enables shooting wide open (with a ‘faster’ aperture)
for lovely bokeh in bright sunlight conditions, which requires your flash to be able to sychronize to higher HSS
shutter speeds to avoid over exposure.
Please note, with certain cameras at the highest fps settings the camera switches from mechanical to electronic
shutter, and in so doing disables the hot shoe and flash synchronization. Flash can only be synchronized
with mechanical shutter so please consult your camera manual. Additionally, many cameras disable flash
synchronisation when in silent shutter mode, so ensure this mode is switched off.
USING THE FLASH MODE
Please note : The Titan will use the previously selected colour temperature (CCT), RGB/HSI/XY colour, or filter that
was selected prior to entering flash mode. Therefore for regular operation, before entering the flash menu select
your desired Colour temperature from the ‘CCT’ tab on the HOME menu from 3000-10,000 Kelvin (with 5600K
being ‘daylight’ and 3200k being ‘tungsten’ ie sunset).
Then, tap the ‘FLASH’ menu button on the touchscreen panel to enter ‘FLASH’ mode.
(
NB
- Titan is not a TTL flash, it is a manual flash with adjustable flash power, modelling light, colour temperature,
diffusion and duration settings.)
Set your camera into manual flash mode, for exposure guide, take a test shot and either adjust flash power, or
distance to the subject to achieve optimal exposure. Alternatively you can use the FDIM mode (SYS menu) to
calculate exposure for continuous mode, noting that your exposure will be + 1 stop for flash power.
