the Power Display [10] from 1-32 by turning the Power Dial [13] for outlet D. At channels
16-32 it’s also possible to change the sub channels (“quads”) from “A”, “b”, “C” to “d”
by pressing down the dial while rotating.
How to activate or deactivate Auxiliary
functions
Release the Auxiliary Functions Button [7] after setting the function(s). The Auxiliary
Functions Display [8] will now show the chosen function and the generator works with this
settings. If more than one auxiliary function is activated, the display shows intermittently
all functions.
To turn off any of the auxiliary functions, simply hold down the Auxiliary Functions Button
[7] and push the Flash and Modelling Light Button (s) [12] at the corresponding outlet(s) –
an “Off” in the display indicates that the regarding function is deactivated. If no auxiliary
function is activated, the
Auxiliary Functions Display [8] will indicate “- -”.
Memory Function
It is possible to save up to three combined power and auxiliary function settings in the D4’s
memory. This makes it easier to repeat even the most complex set-ups. With the “Profoto
Studio” software you can save an almost unlimited number of set-ups (see page 35-40).
PLEASE NOTE! When deactivating the D4 with the On/Standby Button [3],
the generator automatically saves the last power (of all outlets) and auxiliary
settings in memory A. The A position is used as “safety memory” and can’t be
programmed individually. After reactivating the D4 by pushing the
On/Standby
Button [3], the generator automatically starts with these settings. To prevent
mistakes, all auxiliary functions (except the radio channel) stored in this memory
are deactivated if the generator was disconnected from the mains. If you want
to use them, it is necessary to activate them again (see page 26).
Additionally it is possible to store three complete setups in memory B, C and D permanently.
How to save:
1. After setting the generator press and hold down the Ws/f-stop Switch and Memory
Button [11], the Ready Lamp [18] goes off and a double beep signal confirms that
you entered the memory mode.
2. While still holding down the Ws/f-stop Switch and Memory Button [11], you choose
the memory position by pressing and holding down one Flash and Modelling Light
On/Off Button [12] at outlet B, C or D.
3. Now you release the Ws/f-stop Switch and Memory Button [11] first, a beep confirms
the setting and you can also release the Flash and Modelling Light On/Off Button [12] –
the R Reea ad dy y L La am mp p [18] is lit again.
How to recall:
