Multiple flash photography (MULTI)
This flash unit is capable of firing multiple times while the camera shutter is open (multiple flash photography). Multiple flash
photography allows you to capture a series of movements of the subject in a single photo.
Hint
For multiple flash photography, you need to place the camera in M shooting mode. Otherwise, you may not obtain the proper exposure.
To avoid blurring of images due to hand movement, it is recommended that you use a tripod for multiple flash photography.
Maximum number of flashes for continuous firing in multi flash firing mode
Due to the limited battery capacity, the maximum number of flashes for continuous firing in multi flash firing mode are listed in the
following tables as guidelines.
When using the alkaline batteries
Work with the menu of the camera attached with this flash unit to specify [Multi Flash Firing] for the flash control
mode.
