Other settings include Full On, OFF and manual control of the modeling light output.
The PL2500DR recycles to full power in a fast 3.0 seconds with short flash durations at minimum power that help you stop every gesture, an attribute which is extremely valuable when working with kinetic subjects like dancers or athletes.
