stroboscopic flash, a rapid series of flashes is fired. It can be used to capture a 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.

Multi: Stroboscopic Flash

With high-speed sync, the faster the shutter speed, the shorter the effective flash range.

Multi flash mode cannot be set in high-speed sync mode.

With high-speed sync, the color temperature is lower (decrease around 700K) because of tube’s characteristics.

Please set the camera to AWB (Auto White Balance).

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.

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.

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.
