Abstract
A system and method for synchronizing a photographic lighting device to image acquisition by a camera using light emission profile information to position a light emission profile at a desired location in an image acquisition window. A light energy balance point of a light emission profile can be used to position the balance point at a desired location in an image acquisition window.
Claims3
A method for synchronizing a photographic lighting device to image acquisition by a camera, the method comprising:
- identifying a balance point of a light emission profile for a photographic lighting device associated with a camera;
- determining a desired location for the balance point within the image acquisition window of the camera;
- and
- determining a starting time of light emission initiation for the photographic lighting device, said determining a starting time of light emission initiation using the balance point to position the balance point at the desired location.
A method for synchronizing a photographic lighting device to image acquisition by a camera, the method comprising:
- identifying a light energy balance point of a light emission profile for a photographic lighting device associated with a camera;
- determining shutter information of the camera;
- determining a desired location for the light energy balance point within an image acquisition window of the camera;
- wirelessly communicating a timing value based on the shutter information to one or more remote photographic lighting devices;
- and
- determining a starting time of light emission initiation for each of the one or more remote photographic lighting devices, said determining a starting time of light emission initiation using the light energy balance point and shutter information to position the light energy balance point at the desired location in the image acquisition.
A system for wirelessly synchronizing a photographic lighting device to an image acquisition by a camera, the system comprising:
- one or more processing elements;
- and
- one or more memory elements, said one or more memory elements configured with information for instructing the one or more processing elements to:
- identify a balance point of a light emission profile for a photographic lighting device associated with a camera;
- determine a desired location for the balance point within an image acquisition window of the camera;
- and
- determine a starting time of light emission initiation for a photographic lighting device using the balance point to position the balance point at the desired location in the image acquisition.
