Thanks for using my first ever r series camera, Vanessa Joy! I’m glad someone uses my baby! I have an r6 now but still love this camera so much!

It’s such a great camera!

Thanks for the video!

One difference I've noticed is the dilation of the pupils -- with continuous bright light, the subject's eyes will have adjusted by shrinking the pupils, while they don't have a chance to with a sudden flash.

Yes!! Such a good point - although could be achieved with a modeling light available on some flashes

Thank you for this video, great explanation. Congratulations Vanessa '

Glad you enjoyed it ☺️

Images using continuous light tend to be a little 'softer', less 'crisp' than the flash images. The flash exposure analog to the shutter speed is the flash duration, around 1/1000", while the continuous shutter speed tends to be around 1/100". The slower effective light time allows for micro-jitters, both with the subject and the camera, softening the image.

Also, a "strobe" draws power and then holds it.. it doesn't keep drawing power which kills battery. You can go a very long time with a strobe.

but the continuous Rotolight light has also an integrated flash function that doubles the brightness and is Elinchrom flashes compatible and the studio flash has also an integrated continuous light !

Yeah but I was comparing flash to continuous and that wouldn’t be continuous 😜

A more apples-to-apples comparison would have been shooting indoors at night (plus using equivalent modifiers).

Not in my opinion. I’m a more practical user and I don’t care what lights do at night as much as I care about how they work in the day, when I normally work. And there isn’t an XL shoot through umbrella for that continuous light so I can’t use the same modifier, nor would I because of the continuous light’s power limitation. I used both lights in the manner of how I would use them, working with their pros and cons, in that scenario. To me that’s more valuable and practical than a clinical review and comparison, but totally ok if that’s not what is valuable to you.

Strobe forever...

So to get a more dramatic look you would darken the exposure on your in camera settings? and to make the flash work as if it were natural light you bring it further back and brighten the settings in your camera?

That’s a fairly good summary, but it’s also the size of the light - very large for soft light, very small for hard light

What is your white balance set at? Ty

AWB with white tone priority

There's a weird magenta color cast in the first continuous light. Is that the issue with tint and WB or was there some lighting contamination? Thanks for your video.

Potentially all of the above!

Really interesting video but I must ask, where did the model get her dress? it’s stunning
