FLASH MODE

The flash mode menu enables you to configure your ELC unit to suit your style of shooting.
EN
Stay on default if you wish to do everyday flash photography.
SEQUENCE SETUP
Use sequence mode to catch a moving sequence with a number of indexed units, for example,
of a jumping person in up to 20 different images. The following setup must be programmed in
order to use the features.
• unit address: Every unit requires its own address; every time a trigger is released the
corresponding flash unit will respond. Up to 20 units can be addressed.
• total units: Indicates the total number of addressed flash units.
• sequence timeout: Time after which the sequence restarts back to first addressed unit.
The timeout can be programmed from 0.1s to 5s. This setting is necessary to flash the
addressed units in the right order.

DELAY SETUP

Set a delay to your ELC unit to flash with a specific delay after triggering (e.g. second curtain).
• Set delay (in ms): Time in which the unit should fire a flash after the camera shutter has been
opened. The delay time can programmed from 1ms (0.001 s.) to 10000ms (10 s.). Please
see the suggested values in the table page 21 if you want to have second curtain sync via
skyport.
Note: to fine-tune the miliseconds, the scale can be modified in 1, 10, 100 and 1000 steps. Press
the User preset button after each digit to multply by 10 and use the Modelling lamp button to
reduce by factor 10. This option is only active in the flash delay setup menu.
STROBO SETUP
Take an image with stroboscopic effects and open camera shutter. The overlapping moving
sequence is visible in one image.
• Frequency: Number of flashes per second. Programmable from 1 to 20Hz.
• Duration window: Time during of the moving sequence you wish to capture. Programmable
from 0.5 s. to 5 s.
Note: The unit must be set in fast recycling time in the "power settings" menu. If the unit's master
button LED flashes in red, this means the recycling time cannot follow the settings. Please
reduce the Hz setting or the flash power to a lower value.
