Profoto released the latest firmware (B5) for the Connect Pro. The new firmware can be updated via the Profoto Control app.
The following new features have been added with the firmware update:
Arrangement settings
The air range setting adjusts the wireless communication range between Connect Pro and the lights.
- NORMAL: Optimized for normal shooting distances (0.1–25m)
- LONG: Supports a wider communication range (1–100m)
The default setting is “NORMAL”. Select “LONG” when shooting in environments with long distances or where radio waves are weak.
Advanced illumination function
Cycle Mode
This feature allows you to save multiple lighting scenes and automatically switch between them while shooting. It’s useful when you want to use different lighting scenes alternately during a series of shots, or when you want to shoot multiple lighting variations without manually changing the settings.
Up to eight lighting scenes can be registered. Connect Pro automatically advances to the next scene with each camera sync signal or by pressing the Test button, and you can switch between “LOOP” and “PAUSE,” which allows you to hold the current scene and edit it.
Each lighting scene can save the following information for each group A through F.
- Flash output value
- Flash ON/OFF
- Ambient light ON/OFF
*TTL (automatic flash control) cannot be used in cycle mode.
Multi-Pop Mode
Multi-Pop Mode is a feature that allows for the creation of afterimages through continuous flashing by firing the flash multiple times during a single exposure.
This is very useful when you want to record movement within a single photograph or when you want to create motion effects with a sense of afterimage.
When Multi-Pop mode is enabled, the flash will fire repeatedly during a single exposure based on the set number of flashes and the number of flashes per second. To record all the flashes, you will need to set a sufficiently long shutter speed depending on your settings.
*TTL (automatic flash control) and Hi-Speed Sync (Hi-S) are unavailable in Multi-Pop mode.
