Light output is primarily controlled via the connected Profoto power pack. The markings on the flash head (e.g., 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4) typically correspond to the zoom position of the flash tube relative to the reflector, allowing for beam angle adjustment when using compatible light shaping tools like the Zoom Reflector.
- Zoom Reflector Adjustment: To adjust the beam angle, slide the Zoom Reflector forward or backward on the flash head. The numerical scale on the flash head indicates the relative position, influencing the spread of light.
