MD (synchronization with motor drive)
At
the motor
drive
(MD) setting
,
the
S8
-16 is
able to
recycle fast enough to
synchronize
with a
motor-driven
camera firing continuously up to four frames
per
second
.
It is possible to take up to
eight flash
pictures
in
rapid
succession
in this
way.
At the MD setting
,
only
the
main
flash head fires
and
the light
output is approx.
one-
sixteenth
that
of
the flash unit's maximum
power.
Like
the M
setting
,
this
setting is
also
for manual
operation;
therefore
,
the
exposure shou
ld be
calculated
manually
using the
exposure
calcu
lator
dial
or guide
number
equation
shown
on
page
30.
Note
:
As
sufficient
power
is required
for the flash
unit
to
synchronize
with
a
motor
drive,
use
the
newest and freshest batteries whenever
possible.
For the
same
reason,
avoid tripping the
shutter immediately
after
the
ready-light comes
on.
but
wait
for
at
least
30
seconds before
beginning
the motor
drive
sequence.
