Calculating the shutter speed
When you use Stroboscopic mode, the shutter remains
open until the firing stops. Use the following formula to
calculate the shutter speed and set the speed on the
camera.
Number of Flashes / Flash Frequency = Shutter Speed
For example, if the number of flashes is 10 and the firing
frequency is 5Hz, the shutter speed should be at least two
seconds.
Notes:
• The Stroboscopic flash mode is most effective with a
highly reflective subject against a dark background.
• We recommend using a tripod and a remote control.
• A flash output of 1/1 and 1/2 cannot be set for the
Stroboscopic flash mode.
• You can use the Stroboscopic flash mode “bulb.” Bulb
mode is useful for shooting pictures in low light levels
(such as at night) because it keeps the shutter open
longer to let in more light.
