Flash Mode -- Multi:Stroboscopic Flash
With stroboscopic flash, a rapid series of flashes is fired. It can be

Calculating the Shutter Speed
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.
Number of Flashes / Flash Frequency = Shutter Speed
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 stroboscopic 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’ rest for the camera flash.
●
Stroboscopic flash is most effective with a 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“

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 following table.

You can set up three slave groups for TTL autoflash shooting.
With TTL autoflash, you can easily create various lighting effects.
●
Any flash settings for the slave units on the master flash in
TTL/Manual/Multi
mode will be automatically sent to the slave
units. So the only thing you need to do is to set the master unit for
each slave group without any operation for the slave units at all
during the shooting.
●
This flash can work in
TTL /M /Multi / OFF
flash modes when set
as a master unit.
As a slave unit, V860IIO is compatible with Godox X1 series
transmitter e.g. X1T-C(For Canon), X1T-N(For Nikon), X1T-S(For
Sony), X1T-F(For Fuji), X1T-O(For Olympus or Panasonic).
