ODS SETUP
The Over-Drive-Sync (ODS) can improve the overall exposure, when the HS Sync mode is active.
ODS relies on flash units with long flash durations, so results will depend on the flash duration of the lights
used (which also changes at different power levels), as well as the camera used. Full frame cameras with large
sensors and slow shutters are unfortunately the hardest to get good results with, but lights with long enough
flash durations can still achieve clean frames all the way to 1/8000th. In addition using ODS, they can gain up
to 2 f-stops more light, essential when sun light must be overpowered.
The ODS Setup offers adjustment from 0.1 to 5.0 ms or can be switched off.
The ODS value will vary depending on the camera and the flash unit which is used and must be adjusted
manually
Note:
• Over-Drive-Sync (ODS) can only be used when the SYNC mode is set to HS.
• When ODS is adjusted, the position of the flash cutoff (dark edge at top or bottom of picture) can be
moved within the frame. When switched OFF, the flash trigger point will be selected automatically when
in HS mode.
