Shooting in HSS flash mode
Rotolight lights can be used with any camera. However, you need to have the correct Rotolight HSS transmitter (by Elinchrom) for your camera; it’s available for Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Sony and Fujifilm. Or you can use external third-party transmitters via the built-in PC sync port. To shoot in HSS mode, put the transmitter in the camera’s hotshoe, ensure the NEO 2 is set to Skyport mode and that it and the transmitter are set to the same channel (frequency) and group. Then select the NEO 2’s flash mode and set the flash duration to 1/50sec; the light will recalculate the speed if you’re using a faster shutter speed. Then turn on the transmitter and select Scan so it can find and connect to the lights. Now you can take wireless control of the Rotolight. If you have a camera like the Fujifilm X-T2, which was launched before the compatible transmitter became available, you need to ensure the firmware is up to date before you can shoot with a transmitter. Then, select ‘Flash Function’ in the camera menu, set the mode to Manual, and you’ll be ready to shoot with flash at 8fps.
