LED lights

Extra light for maximum image quality indoors or out

Cool running, efficient, and long lasting LED lights can provide the extra illumination you need to record high-quality images in dim lighting or to provide fill lighting outdoors and in backlit situations. They're ideal when you need extra light in order to shoot at a low ISO setting, and they can make focusing easier too.

LED light off / on
  • LED light OFF: The face is in shadow and too dark
  • LED light ON: The face is well lit and details are clear

Color temperature matching for natural color balance

Color temperature varies according to the environment you're shooting in, and the color temperature of any extra lighting you use needs to be matched to the ambient light. Unadjusted LED light is a close match for natural sunlight, and it's easy to match the color temperature of other types of lighting for natural color balance wherever you shoot.

  • Indoor lighting (3200K) plus unfiltered LED light (5000K) results in a blue-white cast. Indoor lighting (3200K) plus unfiltered LED light (5000K) results in a blue-white cast
  • With filter: color temperature adjusted for optimum color indoors. Indoor lighting (3200K) with filtered LED light (3200K) produces natural overall color balance

Continuous brightness adjustment provides extra expressive control

Variable brightness control allows brightness and light ratios to be easily adjusted to create the desired mood and bring out the desired degree of detail.
