Page 19: Calcula Ng Blur
wider the pulse, the brighter the flash from the LEDs appears to be. There is however, a downside to the wider pulses. All strobes work by giving short bursts of light (the pulse width) at a rapid repetition rate (the flash rate). Strobes rely on the persistence of the human eye (the ability to remember and image) and its response to bright light to give an apparent stop motion image. -
Page 20: Brightness In Degrees Of Rota On
When setting the pulse duration in degrees, what you set is what you get. Refer to the image on the right for the difference between a 1° and 5° (of rotation) flash duration. There are two methods of adjus ng the flash pulse width and hence the brightness and consequently the blur. -
