FLASH FRAMES
Used to create flashes tightly synchronised to the camera shutter. This effect must be used in
conjuction with a sync source such as the FlashBandit. The duration of the flash ON and OFF is
specified in Frames - e.g. Flash 1 frame ON, followed by 3 frames OFF, repeat. Calibrate Sync
mode should be run first to make sure fixture is aligned with the camera shutter to prevent ‘torn
frames’ on cameras with rolling shutter.

CALIBRATE SYNC
This is a special mode used for calibrating the light to an external sync source, such as the
FlashBandit sync box. It is used to make sure the camera shutter and Creamsource are synchro
-
nised, to prevent the flash-banding effects when shooting on a CMOS sensor camera. See page
