FAQ
D-Lite RX
Dark slide on the picture
If a dark slide appears on your picture, this could be a sync issue when you use too short sync speeds with DSLR cameras.
You need to set the camera shutter speed at least at one value slower to maybe 1/200s or 1/160s.
Color temperature and consistency output
All flashes are extremely consistent in flash power output and may vary due to the glass flash tube by a 1/10th of an F-Stop or even less.
The color temperature is stable. The color shifts over 3 f-stop flash power regulation is about 200 – 300 Kelvin or even less, but when set to a certain flash power output each flash is consistent.
At minimum power, the flash color temperature tends to be warmer. At full power, it tends to be cooler, due to the voltage regulation of the capacitor for different flash power outputs.
At minimum power, the flash color temperature tends to be warmer. At full power, it tends to be cooler, due to the voltage regulation of the capacitor for different flash power outputs.
This will not affect the image result, since studio lights are a mix of old and new units at different power levels with silver and white reflectors or Softboxes of different brands and fabrics.
The difference between a silver reflector and a softbox can show a gap in the color temperature, maybe 500 K or more.
The flash duration and specifications at full power you find in the user manuals.
Transmitter Pro and unit compatibility

Skyport generations
There are three different Elinchrom EL-Skyport flash unit generations in the market.
Every new generation offers additional new features and improved performance.
- 1st Generation
EL-Skyport Transceiver RX plug-in module for Style RX, Digital RX and Ranger RX.
Units with the Transceiver RX can be detected but will not be displayed power levels. Their power levels can, however, be adjusted.
- 2nd Generation
Built-in EL-Skyport module Mk1 for BRX, D-Lite RX, Quadra, Quadra Hybrid.
These units can be detected with their power levels displayed and adjusted.
- 3rd Generation
Built-in EL-Skyport module Mk2 for ELC Pro HD, ELC and ELB.
These units can be detected with their power levels displayed and adjusted.
This generation also offers an extended distance range.
Maximum weight on the D-Lite units
The D-Lite range can’t hold weight over 1.5kg.
We advise not to go beyond a Rotalux 135 cm.
How to setup Hi-Sync/HSS ?
Hi-Sync or HSS mode is detected automatically.
Enabling the Hi-Sync/HSS feature is very simple but different for each camera.
However, some cameras need a specific setup to be able to engage Hi-Sync or HSS.
How to setup hi-sync / hss mode.
Impossible to go higher than 1/200s shutter speed
Hi-Sync or HSS mode is detected automatically with compatible units.
However, some cameras need a specific setup to be able to engage Hi-Sync or HSS:
How to setup hi-sync / hss mode.
- Always check if you have the latest firmware installed.
- If you use higher shutter speeds 1/400s and more, you should see a little “HS” symbol in the upper bar of the Transmitter Pro; this indicates that hi-sync is active.
- Try different shutter speeds.
- A decent grading over the image is unavoidable; this is the relation between camera chip size and the flash duration of the unit.
- Try to use lower flash power settings. Hi-Sync requires a longer flash duration.
- On the Transmitter Pro, you find the ODS settings. Try to play with this setting to shift the exposure window to the best possible sync result.
