Q: 9. What would be some average camera settings for LED500 daylight at 6 feet, with an ISO 400? I would think that at 3 feet, it would gain 2 F-stops?

A: I cannot answer that question directly, having no experience in actuatlly taking photographs with our lights, as opposed to just knowing how they work. However, I can tell you that at six feet, a daylight LED500 should be able to produce 1550 Lux, or 144 Fc. Hopefully those numbers will help you figure out the camera settings. // Also, if there are any other technical or product related questions, feel free to contact us directly at any time at support@dracobroadcast.com.
