Multi: Stroboscopic Flash

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.

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
