Impact VC-500WLN 500Ws Monolight - Manual (Page 15)

Proportional: When the modeling light is activated,
the default setting is proportional, as indicated by
the indicator above the button. As you adjust the
monolight’s power output via the adjustment dial, the
modeling light will increase or decrease proportionally.
This gives you the general idea where highlights and
shadows will fall in relation to the flash power.
Independent: To change to independent mode, press
the adjustment dial a second time. The indicator will
appear over the button. You can now independently
control the modeling lamp’s light output by pressing
the or buttons. The display shows the modeling
light output level. Once you have completed this
operation, the display reverts back to the flash power
level after approximately 4 seconds.
Note: Each button press will change the power output of the modeling light by
one-tenth unit. Press and hold down the or button to increase or decrease
the numbers at a faster pace.
The modeling light can be used as a recycle indicator. When the audio function
is deactivated (see the
Audio Button section on page 22), the modeling light
will turn off when the flash is fired, and it will turn on again to indicate that the
capacitors have recharged. When the audio function is active, the modeling light
will not turn off when the flash is fired.
Press the adjustment dial a third time to power off the modeling light.
