PowerTracking Tab
PowerTracking Control: Adjusts how ControlTL-capable remote studio ashes, like ashes connected to an AC9,
respond to the AC3 in Auto Mode, or to a ControlTL Transmitter with no AC3. See the ControlTL & PowerTracking
section for information.
Full Manual (default): Turns off PowerTracking for aperture and ISO. See the Camera FEC Range and Basic
Power Control section for more information.
Nikon: With no AC3 ZoneController on the transmitter, only the camera’s FEC/EC control will adjust ash
power output level.
Canon: With no AC3 ZoneController on the transmitter, the camera’s ISO and FEC controls will adjust ash
power output level.
With an AC3 ZoneController on the transmitter, any zones set to Auto Mode will operate as Center on ISO &
Aperture with First Shot (see below) when this control is set to Full Manual. AC3 Manual Mode can be used
to adjust ash output power manually with an AC3.
Center on ISO & Aperture with First Shot: Aperture and ISO as set on the camera for the rst exposure will
be aligned with the ControlTL center point (3 stops down from your ash’s maximum output power). For
example, if your camera is set to ISO 100 and F:5.6 for its rst exposure, then those exposure settings will
yield a ash output power of 1/8. Adjustments to aperture, ISO, and FEC will adjust ash output power
accordingly, as will adjusting the Power Dial on AC3 zone in Auto Mode. See the Automatic PowerTracking
section for more information.
Center on ISO & Aperture: Lets you set the aperture and ISO that will be aligned with the ControlTL center
point (3 stops down from your ash’s maximum output power). Adjust the drop-down boxes for the Aperture
Center-On and ISO Center-On values you want to use.
