CCT Mode Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) mode allows you to accurately adjust the color temperature from 3000 to 10,000 K. Brightness is adjustable from 0% to 100% in 1% increments. 4300K Tint sets the green/magenta saturation level in 1% increments from 100% (full plus green) to -100% (full minus green). +/− Green 0% 100% Adjustment Dials • Top: Adjusts the color temperature in 50 K increments. • Bottom: Adjusts the brightness from 0% to 100% in 1% increments.
HSL Mode Hue Saturation Level (HSL) mode lets you scroll through the entire color wheel and adjust the saturation level. Every color of the visible spectrum is available. In HSL mode, you can create accent lighting as well as dramatic lighting effects for photography and video. The LCD screen displays the position on the color wheel in degrees, along with a color bar indicator. Color saturation can be adjusted from 0% to 100% in 1% increments with the Composer app.
Filter Mode The Fiddle is loaded with 150 digital gel filters. Filter mode allows you to match the color temperature of your other lights, and then add one of the 150 loaded gels for a touch of color to a background or an accent light. Each numbered gel has a descriptive title, along with a color bar of the color hue and exact color temperature. The Fiddle uses the setting from CCT mode to calculate the precise color temperature of the gel as it would appear on the actual light.
Effects Mode Effects mode can be accessed only via the Composer app. Effects from app The Fiddle is loaded with 10 animated effects. Each effect has multiple settings and parameters that can be adjusted in the Composer app. Siren 98% Description of the Effects CCT Chase A continuous look that changes between two preset color temperatures. Good for simulating a sunrise, sunset, or a change from cloudy to sunny weather in real time.

Recharge the battery immediately. • Battery Empty: The LEDs will shut off. • Overheat: The LEDs will shut off, and brightness adjustment is disabled until the unit has cooled to a safe temperature.
