Stroboscopic Flash
Calculating the Shutter Speed
Flash count ÷ Flash frequency = Shutter speed
For example, if the ash count is set to 10 (times) and ash frequency
to 5 (Hz), set the shutter speed to 2 sec. or longer.
o
To avoid wearing out or damaging the ash head from overheating, do
not use stroboscopic ash repeatedly more than 15 times. After 15 shots,
stop using the ash for at least 10 min.
o
Shooting more than 15 times will activate a safety function and restrict
ash ring. Stop using the ash for at least 40 min.
o
Stroboscopic ash is most e󰀨ective when shooting subjects with high
reectance against a dark background.
o
Use of a tripod and remote switch or remote control (sold separately) is
recommended.
o
Flash output cannot be set to 1/1 or 1/2 power.
o
Stroboscopic ash is also available when the camera’s shooting mode is
set to <Bulb(B)>.
o
For details on the maximum continuous ash count, refer to the separate
Supplemental Information.
o
A ash count display of “
----
” indicates that the ash will re continuously
until the shutter closes or the ash charge is depleted.
