Repeating flash mode
m In the Repeating Flash mode, the SB-80DX fires repeatedly during a single
exposure, creating stroboscopic multiple-exposure effects. This mode is
useful when shooting fast-moving subjects.
nIn the Repeating flash mode, use fresh or fully charged batteries. Also allow enough time
for the flash to recycle between each repeating flash.
nIn the Repeating flash mode, use a tripod to prevent camera/flash shake, because slower
shutter speeds are used.
Setting the flash output level, the frequency (Hz), and the number of
repeating flashes per frame
m Frequency (Hz) represents the number of times the flash fires per second.
nThe actual number of repeating flashes per frame becomes lower than the one set as the
shutter speed increases or the number of flashes per second decreases, because the
Speedlight fires during a single exposure.
m Referring to the table below, set the flash output level, the frequency, and the
number of repeating flashes separately for each picture.
