5.8 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
possible 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.
