absolute power mode, all flashes will emit the same intensity of light
notwithstanding the differences in their own relative power scale. For instance, at 11
EV, Flash A is firing the amount of light equal to its 1/16 power, while Flash C is firing
equal to its 1/8 power..
To change the V6 IIs system to the absolute power mode:
1. Switch on the remote V6 IIs in RX mode. Choose the correct flash profiles for
each of the V6 IIs RXs.
2. Switch on the V6 IIs that you would like to be the commander in TX mode. Make
sure that it is on the same channel as the RX units. Press
dial to <POWER MODE> and press
(SETUP)> and press
3. The V6 IIs TX will then collect the flash profiles from the V6 IIs RX units and set up
the absolute power level scheme. Once the set up is finished, the LCD display will
return to the main screen again and show the absolute light intensity of the four
groups.
4. Adjust the power level as you do in relative power mode (see Section 12.1). Each
figure before decimal place represents 1 EV and the smaller figure thereafter
1/10 EV.
5. Set all the activated groups to the same power level. Test f ire the slaves and
determine whether they produce the same flash output.
6. If the initial set up is not accurate enough, you may offset the absolute power
scale of each group. Press any group button and
the offset mode for that group. For example, if the flash output of group A is
slightly stronger than the other groups at the same absolute power levels, press
and simultaneously. The LCD screen will show <GROUP A OFFSET>. Turn
the selection dial left or right to adjust the power scale from -1EV to 1EV. Press
to return to the main screen.
. Turn the selection dial to <ABSOLUTE
to confirm.
. Turn the selection
simultaneously to get into
