6. Modes de funcionament

The Flashpoint Lux Master offers several operating modes to suit various photographic needs:

  • Mode TTL (a través de la lent): This mode automatically adjusts flash output based on the camera's metering system, providing accurate exposure without manual adjustments. Select TTL on the touchscreen for automatic flash control.
  • Mode manual: Allows you to manually set the flash power output from full power down to the lowest setting. This mode offers precise control over lighting for consistent results. Adjust power levels using the touchscreen interface.
  • Mode Multi (Estroboscòpic): Fires a series of rapid flashes during a single exposure, ideal for capturing multiple movements of a subject in one frame. Configure flash frequency and number of flashes via the touchscreen.
  • Mode automàtic: The flash uses its own light sensor to determine the correct exposure, independent of the camera's metering. This is useful for older cameras or specific creative effects.
  • R2 2.4G Wireless System: The Lux Master can function as a master or slave unit within the Flashpoint R2 2.4G wireless system. This enables remote control and multi-flash setups. Use the wireless sync function on the touchscreen to set channels and IDs for seamless communication with other R2 devices.
  • Sincronització d'alta velocitat (HSS): When enabled, HSS allows the flash to synchronize with shutter speeds faster than the camera's native flash sync speed (e.g., 1/250s). This is crucial for shooting with wide apertures in bright conditions or freezing fast motion.
