?: Stroboscopic Flash
Calculating the Shutter Speed
In stroboscopic flash, to ensure that the shutter stays open until the end of the continuous flashes, set the camera with a shutter speed calculated with the following equation.
Number of flashes ÷ flash frequency = shutter speed
For example, if the number of flashes is set to 10 (times) and flash frequency to 5 (Hz), set the shutter speed to 2 sec. or longer.
To avoid degrading and damaging the flash head due to overheating, do not shoot repeatedly with stroboscopic flash more han 10 times. After shooting 10 times, allow a rest time of at least 15 min.
If you shoot repeatedly more than 10 times, the safety function may
ac ivate and restrict the flash firing. If this happens, allow a rest time of at least 15 min.
Stroboscopic flash is most effective when combining a highly reflective subject with a dark background.
Using a tripod, remote switch and external power source is recommended.
Stroboscopic flash is not possible with 1/1 power or 1/2 power flash. Stroboscopic flash is also possible when the camera’s shooting mode is set to “buLb”.
