10. Stroboscopic mode
Fig. 18: Stroboscopic mode
In this mode several flash exposures are made on the same frame. This is
particularly interesting for motion studies and for special effects (Fig. 18).
In stroboscopic mode, several flashes are fired at a certain flash frequency.
Consequently, this function is only possible with a partial light output level of
1
/
4
max. or less.
For a stroboscopic exposure it is possible to select a flash frequency of 1...30 Hz
in 1 Hz increments, and a number of flashes of 2...20 in single increments.
The maximum possible partial light output level in stroboscopic mode is auto-
matically adjusted (see Technical Data, Table 5).The partial light output level can
be adjusted manually to the minimal value of 1/256 to achieve short flash durations.
The LC display indicates the distance applicable to the adjusted parameters. The
displayed distance value can be adjusted to the actual shooting distance by vary-
ing the f-stop or the partial light output level.The aperture adjusted on the flash-
gun must be transferred to the camera.The distance range can be increased by
loading a high-speed film.
