Display Flash Duration
Flash duration refers to the length of time that from flash’s firing to reach the half peak at
maximum. The half peak at maximum is usually expressed as t=0.5. In order to provide

between t=0.5 and t=0.1 is shown in the following picture.

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 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 a 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”.
