With stroboscopic flash, a rapid series of flashes is fired. It can be used to capture
multiple images of a moving subject in a single photograph.
You can set the firing frequency (number of flashes per sec. expressed as Hz), the
number of flashes, and the flash output.
For setting procedures, see the following:
Press the Mode Selection Button (18) so that “RPT” is displayed.
Press Set Button (19) to select the item to be set. The item blinks.
Rotate Select Dial (22) to set a desired number.
Calculating the Shutter Speed
During stroboscopic flash, the shutter remains open until the firing stops. Use the
following formula to calculate the shutter speed required to capture the full sequence
of flashes:
1/1
1/1-0.3
1/1-0.7
1/2
1/2-0.3
1/2-0.7
1/4
…
OF
1/2+0.7 1/2+0.3
1/4+0.7 1/4+0.3
…
2. Flash Output
Flash output can be varied from 1/128th power to 1/1 full power in 1/3 stop
increments. To obtain a correct flash exposure, use a hand-held flash meter to
determine the required flash output.
Adjust the power output by rotating Select Dial (22). The following table makes it
easier to see how the stop changes in terms of f/stop when you increase or
decrease the flash output:
