Abstract:
1. A photographic light system for providing different types of photographic light, said system comprising: a multifunctional light module including a plurality of semiconductor light source devices; a light module controller connected to said semiconductor light source devices of said multifunctional light module, said light module controller being configured to activate all of said semiconductor light source devices to produce a flash of light, said light module controller further being configured to selectively activate only a portion of said semiconductor light source devices that are clustered in a defined area to produce an autofocus auxiliary light; and a temperature sensor operatively connected to said light module controller, said temperature sensor being configured to detect the body temperature of a subject in a scene of interest so that the color of an output light produced by said multifunctional light module can be adjusted by said light module controller, said light module controller being configured to adjust said color of said output light to blue if said body temperature of said subject is at one level and to adjust said color of said output light to red if said body temperature of said subject is at another level.
