High-Speed Sync
High Speed Sync (FP ash) enables the ash to synchronize with
all camera shutter speeds. This is convenient when you want to
use aperture priority for ll-ash portraits.
As high-speed sync setting is determined by Sony camera’s
shutter, please refer to your camera’s menu.
 Second-Curtain Sync
With a slow shutter speed, you can create a light train following
the subject. The ash res right before the shutter closes.
• Set Sony camera to Rear mode.
• With high-speed sync, the faster the shutter speed, the
shorter the effective ash range.
• Multi ash mode cannot be set in high-speed sync mode.
• Over-temperature protection may be activated after 15
consecutive high-speed sync ashes.

With stroboscopic ash, a rapid series of ashes is red. It can
be used to capture a multiple images of a moving subject in a
single photograph.
You can set the ring frequency (number of ashes per sec.
expressed as Hz), the number of ashes, and the ash output.
1
Press <MODE> button so that
<MULTI> is displayed.
2
Turn the Select Dial to choose

Calculating the Shutter Speed
During stroboscopic ash, the shutter remains open until the r-
ing stops. Use the formula below to calculate the shutter speed
and set it with the camera.
Number of Flashes / Flash Frequency = Shutter Speed
For example, if the number of ashes is 10 and the ring fre-
quency is 5 Hz, the shutter speed should be at least 2 seconds.
• Stroboscopic ash is most effective with a highly reec-
tive subject against a dark background.
• Using a tripod and a remote control is recommended.
• A ash output of 1/1 and 1/2 cannot be set for strobo-
scopic ash.
• Stroboscopic ash can be used with“bulb”.
• If the number of ashes is displayed as “--”, the ring will
continue until the shutter closes or the battery is exhaust-
ed. The number of ashes will be limited as shown by the
following table
To avoid overheating and deteriorating the ash head, do
not use stroboscopic ash more than 10 times in succes-
sion. After 10 times, allow the camera ash to rest for at
least 15 minutes. If you try to use the stroboscopic ash
more than 10 times in succession, the ring might stop au-
tomatically to protect the ash head. If this happens, allow
at least 15 minutes’ rest for the camera ash.

This product is compatible with Sony Wireless Lighting
System (WL). It can function as either an optical wireless
master or slave ash. As a master unit, it can control
Sony camera ashes e.g. HVL-F60M, HVL-F43M and HVL-
F32M via wireless. As a slave unit, it can be controlled by
wireless signals of Sony camera ashes e.g. HVL-F60M,
HVL-F43M and HVL-F32M.
For the restrictions of Sony camera ash’s wireless protocol,
there are several points to be noticed:
• Master unit only has TTL and OFF mode. And M ash mode
can only be set under the slave mode.
• Optical wireless lighting system (WL) do not have Multi mode.
• When setting the slave unit to M mode, plese set the group of
the master unit to TTL mode.
