The RL48-B includes a filter-holder for easy attachment of the supplied Lee Filters. These filters allow for adjustment of color temperature (CTO, CTB) and light intensity (Neutral Density), as well as diffusion.

5. Operación

5.1 Encendido / Apagado

To power on the Rotolight RL48-B, locate the power button on the side of the unit and press it. Press again to power off.
