Rotate the right knob to set the desired duration
for the flash, in shutter intervals, i.e. 1/50s, 1/60s,
1/80s, 1/100s…up to 1/1000s (‘1/1K0’). TOP TIP : NB –
*recommended* you can just leave the duration set
to 1/50th and NEO 2 will automatically adjust the
duration for you if the number of frames per second
requires a shorter flash.
Press, hold and rotate the right hand knob to
set the flash output power, ‘MAX’ (=250% of MAX
continuous output), ‘1/2’ (=125%), ‘1/4’ (=62%), ‘X8’
(=modelling light level x 8), and ‘X16’ (= modelling
light level x 16). NB - when an external 15v power
source is connected (such as the AC adapter or
V-Lock battery) the NEO will automatically raise
the flash output power to ‘MAX +’ ( = 500% of the
normal continuous maximum output, or 1 x f-Stop
more flash power )
To trigger the flash from your Camera (wired
operation), connect a PC sync cable from your
camera’s PC sync port to the 3.5mm mono jack on
the NEO 2. (If your camera does not have a PC sync
port, then you can purchase the optional ‘Rotolight
Accessory Shoe to PC’ adapter and the PC Flash
sync cable, which converts your accessory shoe into
a PC socket).
NB : PC sync is limited to your camera’s internal
sync speed (usually 1/60th up to 1/250th). IT IS NOT
HIGH SPEED SYNC

Alternatively, you can connect third party flash
receivers or transceivers which have a PC sync or
