Ready signaling
Ready signaling is used to indicate when the D2 unit is 100% fully
charged.
There are four ready signaling options:
• BEEP: The D2 unit beeps when it is ready to flash again after
recharging.
• DIM: The modeling light turns off after flashing and turns on when
the D2 unit is ready to flash again. This setting also disables the
control panel sounds.
• BEEP DIM: The modeling light turns off after flashing. The modeling
light turns on and the D2 unit beeps when it is ready to flash again.
• OFF: No ready signal. This setting also disables the control panel
sounds.
The white ready lamp [7] always comes off after flashing and comes on
again when the D2 unit is fully charged.
Normal/Freeze mode
The D2 unit can operate in two modes to maximize the versatility in
different shooting situations.
• Normal mode: Optimized for color temperature stability over the
entire energy range. Best option for most types of shots.
• Freeze mode: Optimized for shortest flash duration. Best option
for shots where the flash is used to freeze fast action. The color
temperature might deviate and become slightly bluer.
NOTE
When HSS (High speed sync) is activated, the Normal/Freeze mode options are
deactivated. For more information about HSS, see page 17.
Wrong exposure alarm
If a flash is released before the D2 unit is fully recharged, there will
be a long beep. This alarm indicates that the flash light does not fully
correspond to the set value. The D2 unit will always flash even if the set
light output cannot be met, as the image may still be usable if the catch
of the moment was perfect.
