During stroboscopic ash, the shutter remains
open until the ring stops. Use the formula below
to calculate the shutter speed and set it with the
camera.
For example, if the number of ashes is 10 and the
ring frequency is 5 Hz, the shutter speed should
be at least 2 seconds.
To avoid overheating and deteriorating the
ash head, do not use stroboscopic ash
more than 10 times in succession. After 10
times, allow the camera ash to rest for at
least 15 minutes. If you try to use the strobo-
scopic ash more than 10 times in succession,
the ring might stop automatically to protect
the ash head. If this happens, allow at least
15 minutes of rest for the camera ash.
• Stroboscopic ash is most eective with a
carefully lit or highly reective subject against
a dark background.
• Using a tripod and a remote control is
recommended.
• A ash output of 1/1 and 1/2 cannot be set for
stroboscopic ash.
• Stroboscopic ash can be used with the“
bulb”setting on the shutter speed dial of your
camera.
• If the number of ashes is displayed as “--”,
the ring will continue until the shutter closes
or the battery is exhausted. The number
of ashes will be limited as shown by the
following table.

ashes per sec. expressed as Hz), the number of
