Calculating the Shutter Speed
During stroboscopic flash, the shutter should remain open until the firing
stops. Use the formula below to calculate the shutter speed and set it with
the camera.
Number of flashes -i- Firing frequency (Hz) = 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 sec.
