Introduction
The Chameleon IS-L336A can be used as a light source for both video and stills photography. It has infrared remote control of the
brightness and colour temperature which also doubles as a camera shutter remote (for cameras which support this function). Light is

match ambient lighting conditions. The bulbs have an average lifespan of approximately 50,000hrs

On both the back panel and the remote control the arrow keys control the colour of the light.
The left and right button arrow buttons add and subtract white light brightness and the top and bottom arrow buttons control yellow light
brightness. You can use all four buttons to mix and set the light colour as required.
The MR-6 infra red remote can control all functions of the light, which gives you the freedom to work without having to return to where
the light is set-up. If your camera supports the function, you also have remote shutter control (consult your camera handbook for further
information). Depending on the camera brand and exposure mode selected, pressing the relevant shutter button will focus the camera
and remotely trigger the shutter. You can also select a two second delay of the shutter (2S). Some cameras will also support the Wide
angle / Telephoto zoom function as well.
Battery charging
The battery can be recharged with the supplied travel charger unit.
10. EU pin plug
Fold out the pins from the back of the travel charger and fit the supplied EU pin plug (10).
This plugs into a standard shaver adapter plug and it takes about four hours for the battery to reach capacity with full charge being
indicated by a green light on the travel charger front panel.
You can also recharge the battery on location using the optional extra, in-car charger kit.
