With stroboscopic ash, a rapid series of ashes is red. It can be used to
capture multiple images of a moving subject in a single photograph.
You can set the ring frequency (number of ashes per sec. expressed
as Hz), the number of ashes, and the ash output.

During stroboscopic ash, the shutter should remain 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.
Stroboscopic ash is most eective with a highly reective or
light colored 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“bulb”.
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.
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 stroboscopic 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’ rest for
the camera ash.
