5.7 Strobe flash mode

The strobe flash mode

is a manual flash mode. It allows several flash expo-

sures to be made on a single photo, which can be especially interesting for
movement studies or special effect images. In strobe flash mode, several flashes
at a certain flash frequency are emitted. For this reason, this function is only
possible with a partial light output of 1/4 or less.
The flash frequency (flashes per second) for a stroboscope image can be set bet-
ween 1 ... 50 Hz in 1 Hz intervals, and the number of flashes can be set bet-
ween 2 ... 50 in intervals of one.
Setting procedure:

• Press the

button until „Mode“ flashes on the

LC display.

• Choose the flash mode

using the

and

arrows. The flash mode

is then highlighted.

The setting takes effect immediately.

• Press the button

to change the LC display back

to the normal view. If the button

is not pressed,

the display will change back to the normal view after
about 5 seconds.

Mode

Strobe number of flashes (N)
In strobe mode, the number of flashes per shot (N) can be selected.
The number of flashes can be set from 2 to 50 in intervals of one. The maximum
manual partial light output is automatically adjusted to this number.
Strobe flash frequency (f)
Strobe mode allows you to select the flash frequency (f), which indicates the
number of flashes per second. The number of flashes can be set from 1 to 50 in
intervals of one. The maximum manual partial light output is automatically adju-
sted to this number.
Setting procedure:
• Press the

button (Parameters) until the desired

flash parameter (N or f) flashes on the LC display.

• Set the desired value using the

and

buttons.

The setting takes effect immediately.

• Press the button

to change the LC display back

to the normal view. If the button

is not pressed,

the display will change back to the normal view after
about 5 seconds.

The maximum possible partial light output depends on the ISO and aperture set-
tings, and is automatically set in strobe mode. If you desire short flashes, you
can manually reduce the partial light output to the lowest value of 1/256.
