User Manual

(True Aperture Dimming continued)
Adjust the brightness with the right knob and the display
will show the adjusted F-Stop aperture for your camera.
(Please note the ‘True Aperture Dimming ™’ algorithm
calculates the F-Stop based on the NEO Brightness setting,
your camera’s ISO and shutter speed, the distance to the
subject AND compensates for the skin contrast of the
subject)
To re-adjust the last selected parameter (usually FEET)
click the right switch , make the adjustment, then click
the right switch again to return to the ‘F-Stop Dimming
Display’ , alternatively rotate the left knob to select a
different parameter to edit, and then click the right switch
to re-enter ‘F-Stop Dimming Display’.
This enables you to effectively ‘bookmark’ the user
parameter that is dynamically changing during your shoot
(ie distance to subject), and without needing to re-meter
the shot, update the parameter and calculate the revised
F-STOP, allowing you to work fast.
Click the left switch to return to MENU, alternatively you
can return to the basic operation (BRI / COL) by pressing
both control switches together.
(‘SFX’) CINEMATIC SPECIAL EFFECTS
In collaboration with Stefan Lange, DOP and Visual FX
Veteran, we have created an arsenal of Cinematographic
Special FX ( CineSFX™ ) , these production tools are
designed to complement your feature/ music video/short
lm.
SFX Brightness and Colour Temperature :
Please note, the current brightness level and colour
temperature setting of NEO is used by SFX mode to
represent the ‘peak output’ level of each effect, enabling
accurate metering (ie if NEO is set to 75% brightness and
5600 Kelvin, then the lightning effect peak brightness level
shall be 75% brightness at 5600 Kelvin).
