Lighting types
There are three types of lighting. The type of lighting is
fixed in advance for each effect number. It cannot be
selected.
Plane light: Parallel light rays strike the picture from a
specified direction. You can set the direction. The
brightness of the light varies according to the angle.
Preset light: Light strikes the picture in a form which
varies according to the effect pattern. Brightness is
constant, regardless of the position of the picture.
Preset + shade: Shading is added to the Preset light
described above.
