Set the shutter speed.
•Use the following equation to determine the shutter speed and use a shutter speed one or more steps slower than the calculated shutter speed.
Shutter speed = Number of flashes per frame ÷ Frequency of flashes (Hz)
•For example, if the number of flashes per frame is 10 and the frequency is 5 Hz, divide 10 by 5 to get a shutter speed of 2 seconds or slower. (Set shutter speeds of slower than 2 seconds.)
•B (bulb) can be used for the shutter speed.

•To prevent this, set a smaller aperture on the camera as needed.
