Additional functions

Quick burst

Quick burst is a compensation feature that allows you to shoot a quick
series (burst) of images at a faster pace than the flash can recharge
without losing any light output from the flash. The number of flashes
that the function can compensate for depends on the set flash power.
At lower flash power, longer bursts can be compensated. At full flash
power, no compensation can be made

Wrong exposure alarm

The wrong exposure alarm is triggered if the light output of the fired
flash does not fully correspond to the set value. This can happen
if a flash is fired before the A2 is fully recharged and the Quick burst
function cannot compensate for it. When the wrong exposure alarm is
triggered, an

EXP indicator will be lit in the display [5] and if Warning

sounds is activated in the settings menu, there will also be a sound
signal.

Head off

The A2 can be set to head off state remotely by selecting “head off” on
a Profoto remote or app.

When the A2 is set to head off, state it will not flash and the continuous
light will be set off. A head off symbol will appear on the display and
the display backlight will be dimmed. The test button will also be unlit.

You can remotely reset the A2 to normal state by selecting “head on”
on your Profoto remote and/or app. If you press any button on the A2 it
will also go back to normal state.
