5.7 Strobe flash mode

The strobe flash mode is a manual flash mode. It allows several flash expo-
sures to be made on a single photo, which can be especially interesting for
movement studies or special effect images. In strobe flash mode, several flashes
at a certain flash frequency are emitted. For this reason, this function is only pos-
sible with a partial light output of 1/4 or less.
The flash frequency (flashes per second) for a stroboscope image can be set bet-
ween 1 ... 50 Hz in 1 Hz intervals, and the number of flashes can be set bet-
ween 2 ... 50 in intervals of one.

The maximum possible partial light output depends on the ISO and aperture set-
tings, and is automatically set in strobe mode. If you desire short flashes, you can
manually reduce the partial light output to the lowest value of 1/256.
The mecablitz LC display will indicate the flash-to-subject distance required for a
correct flash exposure, given the parameters selected. By changing the aperture
setting or the partial light output, this value can be adjusted to fit the actual
distance to the subject.
