Not necessarily. Operating the SimFlash system is relatively straight forward. On-set armoring services can be arranged to ensure smooth and safe use on set in any circumstance.
SimFlash LED cartridges are programmable to alter the duration and delay of the flash among other parameters. Conducting a camera test is strongly encouraged to ensure settings align with your vision.
