During stroboscopic flash, the shutter remains
open until the firing stops. Use the formula below
to calculate the shutter speed and set it with the
camera.
For example, if the number of flashes is 10 and the
firing frequency is 5 Hz, the shutter speed should
be at least 2 seconds.
To avoid overheating and deteriorating the
flash head, do not use stroboscopic flash
more than 10 times in succession. After 10
times, allow the camera flash to rest for at
least 15 minutes. If you try to use the strobo-
scopic flash more than 10 times in succession,
the firing might stop automatically to protect
the flash head. If this happens, allow at least
15 minutes of rest for the camera flash.
• Stroboscopic flash is most effective with a
carefully lit or highly reflective subject against
a dark background.
• Using a tripod and a remote control is
recommended.
• A flash output of 1/1 and 1/2 cannot be set for
stroboscopic flash.
• Stroboscopic flash can be used with the“
bulb”setting on the shutter speed dial of your
camera.
• If the number of flashes is displayed as “--”,
the firing will continue until the shutter closes
or the battery is exhausted. The number
of flashes will be limited as shown by the
