Light Shaping - Profoto A1 User Manual

Light shaping

The A1 flash creates a round and even light spread in all zoom positions.
In addition, there are specially designed light shaping tools for the A1
that can modify the light quality in various ways.
When A1 is used on camera it can automatically follow the zoom
setting on the lens. For creative freedom the beam angle can also be
set manually, either in the menu or by rotating the zoom ring [2]. When
the zoom ring [2] is used the beam angle setting will automatically go
28
to manual mode. The current beam angle setting is shown in the top
of the display [9].
The zoom setting on the flash corresponds approximately to the
following focal length coverage for a 35mm camera.
