Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of photographic equipment, relates to a flash lamp control method and a flash lamp control system, and particularly relates to a flash lamp control method and a flash lamp control system capable of giving light distribution suggestions.
Background
In the photographic industry, flashlights are commonly used to increase brightness, freeze motion, create special effects. The camera is provided with a flash lamp only at the top, which often does not meet the requirements due to brightness, angle and the like, so that in many scenes, a photographer arranges one or more off-line flash lamps outside the camera, and the off-line flash lamps are controlled to synchronously flash through the flash lamps or triggers arranged on the camera hot shoe so as to achieve better effect. The flash or trigger mounted on the camera hot shoe is called the master device, and the off-board flash becomes the controlled flash device. The master flash lamp/trigger and the controlled flash lamp form a wireless flash system. The photographer typically sets the controlled flash to one or more groups, e.g., a/B/C, and then adjusts the flash parameters for each group on the master device, which will control the controlled flash to flash according to the set parameters when the camera shutter is pressed. Due to the high synchronization speed requirements of cameras, wireless flash systems typically have relatively high real-time synchronization requirements, e.g., 1 millisecond at the fastest.
At present, the communication modes of the master control equipment and the controlled flash lamp in the market are mainly two, namely optical signal transmission and radio transmission. The instability of optical signal transmission caused by the susceptibility to obstacles or external light interference is gradually eliminated, and radio transmission is the mainstream. The plurality of controlled flashes can be divided into one or more groups, and the master flash controls the flash parameters of the controlled flashes through the groups. For example, referring to fig. 1, 4 controlled flashes are set as a/B/C group, i.e., there are 2 controlled flashes in group a and one controlled flash in each of group B and group C.
Most main control equipment in the market at present adopts a one-way broadcast communication mode, and the main control equipment does not actually know that a plurality of controlled off-board flash lamps exist or the working states of the controlled off-board flash lamps.

a second flash module for flashing;
a second radio module for receiving the flash instruction, the flash time synchronization signal and the flash result request instruction sent by the first radio module; and
the second processor is used for receiving the instruction and the signal received by the second radio module, controlling the second flash module to flash according to the flash synchronization time after receiving the flash instruction and the flash time synchronization signal, judging whether information needs to be reported or not after receiving the instruction for requesting the flash result, controlling the second radio module to carry out carrier sense if the information needs to be reported, and sending the flash result if the channel is idle; the first radio module is further configured to receive a flash result returned by each second radio module, where the flash result includes actual flash brightness of the controlled flash lamp; the first processor is also used for receiving the flash result, calculating the flash result and giving out a light distribution suggestion; the master control device further comprises a display screen for displaying the lighting advice, which comprises: adding or reducing the controlled flash devices in a certain controlled flash device group; or, adjusting one or more controlled flash devices in a certain group into another group; the first processor controls the first radio module to broadcast the flash request result instruction after waiting for flash processing time, wherein the flash request result instruction comprises an address of a controlled flash lamp device needing to report information and available time T1; each second radio module is configured to receive the flash request result instruction and send the flash request result instruction to the second processor, where the second processor is configured to determine whether information needs to be reported after receiving the flash request result instruction, wait for time T2 according to a sequence where T2 is equal to T1 multiplied by an address sequence of a corresponding controlled flash device if information needs to be reported, then perform carrier sensing, wait for time T3 if a channel is busy, where T3 is equal to T1 multiplied by the number of controlled flash devices that need to be reported, and control the second radio module to send a flash result to the master control device if the channel is idle.
