7.7 Strobe flash mode
The strobe flash mode is a manual flash
mode. It allows several flash exposures 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 1/8 or less.
For a strobe exposure, the frequency of the
flashes (flashes per second) as well as the
number of flashes must be selected.
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
90. The maximum manual partial light output
is automatically adjusted to this number.
The maximum possible number of flashes
(N) depends on the set partial light output
(P).
