Summary
First of all, thank you for using the YN300 III LED video light. This video light is formed
by 150 LED lamp beads with 3200K color temperature and another 150 LED lamp beads
with 5500k color temperature,which are high-quality lamp beads of extra-large luminous
chips, with higher luminance in same energy consumption.The color temperature can be
adjusted from 3200K-5500K as needed,with more practical use;In addition,it adopts the
Yongnuo proprietary LED driving technology, definitely not appear the corrugated,
stroboscopic and other negative phenomena when shooting;It adopts the encoder digital
dimming mode, thus the video light can be dimmed accurately and reliable;Equipped with
8 channel grouping feature;Besides,it can remote control through the remote controller
or mobile phone,control the output power and realize other functions of the video light.

remaining battery power of two batteries.The readings can be divided into P0-P9 nine
grades,which indicates 0%-90% of the electric quantity. For example,the readings P3
as the picture shown indicates the electric quantity is 30%(Note:the power test with
low luminance is different from that with high luminance, thus the service time is based
on the current luminance).
3 Tighten up the hot shoe
knob in the direction of
arrow.
7 Channel Switching .
