Calculating the Shutter Speed
During the 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 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 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.
