    What unique feature of the Profoto reflector was shown in 1968 when Profoto was first launched?

    • The ability to zoom

    • Collapsibility

    • A speedlight adapter

    Correct Answer
    A. The ability to zoom
    Explanation
    The unique feature of the Profoto reflector that was shown in 1968 when Profoto was first launched was its ability to zoom. This means that the reflector could be adjusted to focus the light in a specific direction or spread it out over a wider area, providing photographers with more control and flexibility in their lighting setups.

    Pick the correct statements involving light shaping

    • The larger the light source in relationship to the subject, the softer the light

    • The smaller the light source in relationship to the subject, the softer the light

    • The larger the light source in relationship to the subject the harder the light

    • The smaller the light source in relationship to the subject, the harder the light

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. The larger the light source in relationship to the subject, the softer the light
    A. The smaller the light source in relationship to the subject, the harder the light
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that the larger the light source in relationship to the subject, the softer the light. This is because a larger light source creates more diffused light, resulting in softer shadows and a more even distribution of light on the subject. Conversely, the smaller the light source in relationship to the subject, the harder the light. A smaller light source produces more focused and direct light, creating harsher shadows and a more dramatic lighting effect.

    A soft grid changes any softbox into a hard light source

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    A soft grid does not change a softbox into a hard light source. Instead, it helps to control and direct the light from the softbox by narrowing the beam and reducing the spread of light. This can create more focused and directional lighting, but it does not change the quality of the light from soft to hard.

    The Profoto D1 can be used in TTL mode as well as manual mode.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because the Profoto D1 can only be used in manual mode. It does not have TTL (Through The Lens) capabilities, which means it cannot automatically adjust the flash output based on the camera's metering. Therefore, the only way to control the power of the flash is by manually adjusting it.

    The Profoto softlight reflector is a hard reflector

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The Profoto softlight reflector is a hard reflector because it is designed to provide a harsh and direct light source. Softlight reflectors, on the other hand, are used to create a diffused and softer light.
