‘Rotolight HSS Transmitter’ (RL-HSS-TX) (by

Elinchrom) available now for Sony, Canon , Nikon,

Olympus and Panasonic cameras (Fuji coming

soon) from Rotolight.com and all major stores.

Capable of controlling up to 10 Rotolight NEO 2’s,

in four groups, the Rotolight HSS transmitter also

provides wireless control of NEO 2 brightness and

colour temperature in both ﬂash and continuous

modes (Rotolight HSS transmitter only), and can

trigger CineSFX and Designer Fades (see Page

23/24).

USING THE FLASH MODE : Scroll to ‘FLSH’ and click

the right switch to enter ‘FLSH’ mode.

Note: in order to use the Flash, you must be IN ﬂash

mode (indicated by shutter speed on the display. If

you see word ‘FLSH’, you are not IN ﬂash mode and

must right click to ENTER ﬂash mode)

Set your Camera to Manual ﬂash mode. NEO 2 is

not a TTL ﬂash, it is a Manual Flash with adjustable

ﬂash power, modelling light, colour temperature

and duration settings.

Simple operation: set your camera into Manual

ﬂash mode, refer to the F stop table (p.X) for

exposure guide, take a test shot and either adjust

ﬂash power, or distance to the subject to achieve

optimal exposure.

Rotate the left knob to set the desired ‘Modelling

Light’ level in order to preview focus, shadow and

highlights on your subject (in %, 0-100%) and

compose your photograph .

(Note : NEO 2 is intentionally less bright whilst in

modelling light mode than regular continuous light

mode, in order to make the light more comfortable

for the subject and prolong battery life)

Press, hold AND rotate the left knob to set the

desired ‘Colour Temperature’ for your ﬂash (in

kelvin, from 3150-6300k – Note: as a bi-colour light,

the ﬂash will be at its brightest at midpoint 4100K,

indicated with a red dot in the display)
