Product FAQ
If a dark slide appears on your picture, this could be a sync issue when you use too short sync speeds with DSLR cameras. You need to set the camera shutter speed at least at one value slower to maybe 1/200s or 1/160s.
All Elinchrom flashes are extremely consistent in flash power output and may vary due to the glass flash tube by a 1/10th of an F-Stop or even less. The color temperature is stable. The color shifts over 3 f-stop flash power regulation is about 200 – 300 Kelvin or even less, but when set to a certain flash power output each flash is consistent. At minimum power, the flash color temperature tends to be warmer. At full power, it tends to be cooler, due to the voltage regulation of the capacitor for different flash power outputs. This will not affect the image result, since studio lights are a mix of old and new units at different power levels with silver and white reflectors or Softboxes of different brands and fabrics. The difference between a silver reflector and a softbox can show a gap in the color temperature, maybe 500 K or more. The flash duration and specifications at full power you find in the user manuals.
We recommend not loading the D-Lite series with light shapers weighing more than 1.5 kg. We advise not to go beyond a Rotalux 135 cm or equal size/weigth.
D-Lite RX 4 in combination with Transmitter Pro can be used for Hi-Sync photography with certain camera models. This means that the photographer can freely choose the sync time all the way down to 1/8000 sec. Please note that the exposure may vary slightly over the image surface depending on the selected shutter speed and camera model.
