FAQs

What type of batteries does the Godox LED 308 C II use?

It is compatible with Sony NP-F series batteries, such as NP-F550, NP-F970, and similar models. Batteries are not included.

Can I use the light without batteries?

Yes, an optional AC adapter can be purchased separately to power the light directly from a wall outlet.

How do I control the light remotely?

The light comes with a remote control that operates on a 2.4GHz frequency. Ensure both the light and remote are set to the same channel and group for communication.

What is the purpose of the barndoors?

Barndoors are adjustable flaps that attach to the front of the light. They are used to control the direction and shape of the light beam, preventing light from spilling onto areas you don't want illuminated.

Does the light come with a diffusion filter?

Yes, a diffusion filter is included to soften the light output, creating a more flattering and even illumination.

What is the maximum brightness level?

The brightness can be adjusted from 10% to 100% of its maximum output.

What is the color temperature range?

The color temperature is adjustable from 3300K to 5600K, with a tolerance of +/- 300K.

Troubleshooting

Light does not turn on

Ensure a compatible battery is correctly inserted and charged, or that the AC adapter is securely connected and functioning.

Remote control is not working

Verify that the remote and the light panel are set to the same channel and group. Check the battery in the remote and ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the light.

Brightness or color temperature is inconsistent

Check the battery level. If using an AC adapter, ensure a stable power source. Allow the unit to cool down if it feels excessively warm.

Light flickers during operation

This can be caused by low battery power or an unstable AC power source. Try a fully charged battery or a different power outlet.
