Multi: Stroboscopic Flash
With stroboscopic flash, a rapid series of flashes is fired. It can be
used to capture a multiple images of a moving subject in a single
photograph.
You can set the firing frequency (number of flashes per sec.
expressed as Hz), the number of flashes, and the flash output.
Calculating the Shutter Speed
During stroboscopic flash, the shutter remains open until the firing
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 flashes is 10 and the firing frequency is
5 Hz, the shutter speed should be at least 2 seconds.
To avoid overheating and deteriorating the flash head, do not
use stroboscopic flash more than 10 times in succession.
After 10 times, allow the camera flash to rest for at least 15
minutes. If you try to use the stroboscopic flash more than 10
times in succession, the firing might stop automatically to
protect the flash head. If this happens, allow at least 15
minutes' rest for the camera flash.
●
Stroboscopic flash is most effective with a highly reflective
subject against a dark background.
●
Using a tripod and a remote control is recommended.
●
A flash output of 1/1 and 1/2 cannot be set for stroboscopic
flash.
●
Stroboscopic flash can be used with"buLb".
●
If the number of flashes is displayed as "--", the firing will
continue until the shutter closes or the battery is
exhausted. The number of flashes will be limited as shown
by the following table.

Wireless Flash Shooting: Radio (2.4G) Transmission
●
When the camera's shooting mode is set to a fully automatic
mode or an Image Zone mode, the operations in this
chapter are not available. Set the camera's shooting mode
to P/Tv/Av/M/B (Creative Zone Mode).
● The V1C attach to the camera is called the transmitter unit,
and a V1C that is wirelessly controlled is called the receiver
unit.
● You can also wirelessly control the V1C set as the receiver unit
with the transmitter X1T-C (sold separately). For details on
setting the transmitter unit functions, see the transmitter's
instructions.
Using a flash (transmitter/receiver) with a radio transmission
wireless shooting function make it easy to shoot with advanced
wireless multiple flash lighting, in the same way as E-TTL II
autoflash shooting.
The basic relative position and operation range are as shown in the
picture. You can then perform wireless E-TTL II autoflash shooting
just by setting the transmitter unit to <ETTL>.
