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.
