Synchronizing flash and external trigger

To synchronize the flash with the input of an external trigger, use the [REMOTE] connector on the rear.

Pin configurations of connectors (  page E12).

When the shutter mode is other than “RANDOM” “EEI” (  page E34, SHUTTER item)

In response to the trigger input, the KY-F1030 outputs a flash signal for the CCD accumulation period of the next frame.

The image shot at the moment that the FLASH signal is outputted is output as the next frame. In the case of digital output, output stops with shooting of this frame and the image on the PC’s

monitor will be in the FREEZE condition.

How to cancel the FREEZE condition can be selected. (  page E40, [FRZ CANCEL] item) The trigger interval must be minimum 3 frames (405 msec) at a shutter speed of 1/7.5 s or

faster.

When the FREEZE cancel mode is set to “MANUAL”, FLASH will not be output in response to the trigger input for FREEZE cancellation.
