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.
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.
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.
● 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.
