■ Stroboscopic mode can be used with bulb function.
■ To ensure the best possible shooting effect, you may use the formula below to calculate
the shutter speed and set it with the camera.
Shutter Speed = Number of Flashes / Flash Frequency

7.5 Constant color mode ON / OFF

When constant color temperature mode is active <ON>, the color temperature of the flash
remains 5600±200K, evan flash output power varies or high-speed sync mode.
When constant color temperature mode is inactive <OFF>, flash duration is the first concern and
color temperature varies. Flash duration can reach 1/10000 s, which can be used for freezing
fast moving object.

AUTO-DUMP automatically discharges the capacitors when the power is reduced. Excess
energy is automatically dumped when the flash power setting is reduced. Both increasing and
decreasing the power setting generates heat inside the unit. Therefore, avoid repetitive power
setting changes.
