43?: Stroboscopic FlashNTo ensure that the shutter stays open until the end of the continuousflashes for stroboscopic flash, set the camera with a shutter speedcalculated with the following equation.Number of flashes ÷ Flash frequency = Shutter speedFor example, if the number of flashes is set to 10 (times) and flashfrequency to 5 (Hz), set the shutter speed to 2 sec. or longer.Calculating the Shutter SpeedTo avoid degrading and damaging the flash head due to overheating, setrepeated shooting with stroboscopic flash to 30 times or less. Aftershooting 30 times, allow a rest time of at least 10 min.If you shoot repeatedly more than 30 times, the safety function mayactivate and restrict flash firing. If this happens, allow a rest time of atleast 40 min.When performing stroboscopic flash, combining a highly reflectivesubject with a dark background is most effective.Using a tripod, remote switch, and Compact Battery Pack CP-E4N (soldseparately/p.123) is recommended.Neither 1/1 power nor 1/2 power flash can be set.You can also perform stroboscopic flash even when the camera’sshooting mode is set to <bulb(B)> (bulb shooting).When the number of flashes is displayed as “----”, flashes are firedcontinuously until the shutter closes or the charge runs out. Themaximum number of continuous flashes is shown in the table on the nextpage.High-speed sync (p.31) cannot be set during stroboscopic flash.
