Display Flash Duration

Flash duration refers to the length of time that from flash’s firing to reach the half peek at maximum. The half peak at maximum is usually expressed at t=0.5. In order to provide the photographer with more concrete data, this product adopts t=0.1. The difference between t=0.5 and t=0.1 is shown in the following picture.

Display Flash Duration Operation:

1. Press the button to enter C.FN function.
2. Adjust the Select Dial to F6, the t0.1 icon will be displayed on the AV panel.
3. Press button to enter the adjustment condition.
4. Turn the Select Dial to choose the ON/OFF

The flash duration will only be displayed on the AV pane in M mode.

Stable Color Temperature Function
When use this function, the color temperature changes within ±100K over the entire power range: enter MENU C.Fn-08 and set it as ON, which means the color temperature function is turned on. When adjusting the power output from high to low in M mode, Flash Ready Indicator will blink (the beeper will alarm for 1 minute). Now press the Test Button to discharge, and the flash can be used as normal.

Flash Mode – Multi: Stroboscopic Flash

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.

Set the flash frequency and flash times.

• Press button to select the flash frequency. Turn the Select Dial to set the number.
• Press button to select the flash times. Turn the Select Dial to set the number.
• After finishing the setting, press button and all the settings will be displayed.

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.

Number of Flashes / Flash Frequency = Shutter Speed
For example, if the number of flashes is 10 and the firing frequency is 5Hz, 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 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 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 “buLb”.
• 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.

Maximum Stroboscopic Flashes:
