7.6 Strobe flash mode

The strobe flash mode is a manual flash
mode. It allows several flash exposures to be
made on a single photo, which can be espe-
cially interesting for movement studies or
special effect images. In strobe flash mode,
several flashes at a certain flash frequency
are emitted. For this reason, this function is
only possible with a partial light output of
1/8 or less.
For a strobe exposure, the frequency of the
flashes (flashes per second) as well as the
number of flashes must be selected.
Strobe number of flashes (N)
In strobe mode, the number of flashes per
shot (N) can be selected.
The number of flashes can be set from 2 to
90.
+
The maximum possible number of flashes
(N) depends on the set partial light output
(P).
Strobe flash frequency (f)
Strobe mode allows you to select the flash
frequency (f), which indicates the number of
flashes per second. The number of flashes
can be set from 1 to 100.
If you desire short flashes, you can manually
reduce the partial light output to the lowest
value of 1/256.
