  • @rucka12 That is the modeling light feature on this type of flash heads. You can use it proportionally to the flash power or free from the flash power. It is very handy for judging the shadows before shooting.

  • Hi..would this be good with my new BXRI 500 / 500 LIGHTS?

  • modelling light - shows you (hopefully) where the light will fall

  • Can you please explain to me something. Anyone. If softbox fires a burst when you take a photo, why is there continuous light shining from that softbox?

  • @elboertjie why shooting on f 5.6 youl get the best result from most lenses at f6.4 and higher and he also wanne to have the model as sharp as possible

  • Good answer. Thank you for responding.

  • If he wanted to shoot at f/5.6 then he'd need to turn down the light 6/10 of a stop since he got a reading of f/5.6 +6.

    Since he wanted to shoot at f/8, f/5.6 6/10 is 4/10 of a stop away from f/8... hence why he adjusted the light 4/10 brighter

  • Why does he 'have to' increase the stoppage of the light to f8?

    What if one wishes to shoot at F5.6, that original light would be fine then.

  • VERY HELPFUL VIDEO....

  • Superb
