DELAY SETUP
Set a delay to your ELB unit to flash with a specific delay after triggering (e.g. second curtain).
• Set delay (in ms) : Time in which the unit should fire a flash after the camera shutter has been
opened. The delay time can be programmed from 1ms (0.001 s.) to 10000ms (10 s.). Please
see the suggested values in the table page 10 if you want to have second curtain sync via
skyport.
Note : to fine-tune the miliseconds, the scale can be modified in 1, 10, 100 and 1000 steps. Press
the User preset modelling lamp button to choose your step. This option is only active in the flash
delay setup menu.
STROBO SETUP
Take an image with stroboscopic effects and open camera shutter. The overlapping moving
sequence is visible in one image.
• Frequency : Number of flashes per second. Programmable from 1 to 10Hz.
• Duration window : Time during of the moving sequence you wish to capture. Programmable
from 0.5 s. to 5 s.
Note : The unit must be set in fast recycling time in the “power settings” menu. If the error sound
is heard, this means the recycling time cannot follow the settings. Please reduce the Hz setting or
the flash power to a lower value.
