MULTI (STROBOSCOPIC) MODE
Usage is similar to Remote Manual and On-flash Manual. Stroboscopic mode is particularly
effective with a highly-reflective subject against a dark background. Consider using a tripod,
remote switch and external battery pack.
• Set Flash Mode to Multi.
• Set desired Flash output, Frequency and Flash count, as provided by the camera.
• Flash Count x Hz = minimum shutter duration.
