Is this flash only or will it provide continuous light as well?

It will work as flash as well as continuous light mode. Fairly good for the price!

It will flash all 48 LED's in the ring or it will flash just the right half or left half, for more modeled lighting. It can also light all LEDs continously, such as for video.

I have not used this flash much lately but believe that it did have a continuous setting. The controls are kind of finicky and the plastic is relatively fragile compared to more expensive options. It gets the job done for macro photography but I would recommend the Sigma ring flash if you can afford it. I have used both for dental intraoral photos and flower photos with 105mm lenses. Manual exposure is necessary with the Polaroid as far as I have been able to figure out.

Not unless you are doing some short, stroposcopic videos. This flash only puts out measured bursts of light, not a steady stream suitable for video use.

This is a light modifier that attaches to an existing studio strobe, such as the NEEWER® 180 Watt Professional Photography Studio Strobe/Flash. I would not recommend it for a continuous light "bulb" as it would get very hot very fast.

No. This is a flash, not a continuous light. I think you are looking for some king of light to video recording, this is for photography.

flash works fine for me, picture looks like if it had been taken with enough light.

as far as i'm conserned, it goes only to automatic mode. it decides by itself when to use it. although, it can be switched off. i usualy don't use flash.

The continuous mode is for use as a modeling light only. It is not intended to be used as a primary lighting source, only to set up the model and lighting. When satisfied that you have the light source and direction with the modeling light you would then use the strobe light for your actual shoot.

Yes, it is probably more useful as a slave light than as a main flash. Honestly I thought it was a piece of junk and sold it to someone for 50 bucks, he was not happy with it and wanted to return it to me. It really just does not work well with the more advanced Nikons. It does not seem to react as fast as the camera.

a strobe will flash when a picture is taken. continuous is like a light bulb you turn on and it stays on. xonti

The light has no interaction with your camera. It simply turns on and off with a switch. So, yes. Note that for still shots, it also lights up, but does not "flash".

Yes, it is the same than having the flash plugged to your camera...It gives good results when you are close to the subject and you dont have a white ceiling to bounce your flash...This is a sample... http://www.tourvirtualcostarica.com/images/images-gallery/Christian.jpg

It's a continuous light. With 2 settings. Takes AA batteries. The photo is extremely deceiving.

It is compatable as a light bulb! OK I did not mean to be flippant. Quite simply this is a continuous light source. It does not interface in any way with your camera. You simply setup the panel, point it in the direction you want it to go, adjust the level of luminance and white balance desired, and then your camera does the rest. I have a pair of these that I have been using for product photography and they have worked very well for me.

Yes. I just used it. I have about 50 hours on it and it has been reliable and produces a very controlled flash.

No. I believe you will need special light for video, their latest flash has video lighting capabilities.

This has a regular flash. IR camera will work just fine for you unless you want the picture to be in color.

I don't have the answer to that but the flash failed the 2nd time I turned it on and I returned it. I do not recommend buying it.
