Repeating Flash Mode - Nikon SB-5000 Reference Manual

Repeating Flash Mode

In repeating flash mode, the SB-5000 fires repeatedly during a single
exposure, creating stroboscopic multiple-exposure effects.
• Be sure to use fresh or fully charged batteries and allow enough time for
the flash unit to recycle between each repeating flash session.
• Because of the lower shutter speeds, use of a tripod is recommended to
prevent camera/flash unit shake.
• Indication of insufficient flash output for correct exposure is not
available in repeating flash mode.
