Fl-36 + E500 ? How to set muti burst mode?

[Raptor1]

Hi, been playing with my flash for a few days now, just wondering, how to set the flash to shoot multiple burst in 1 frame? what is the term you guys call it anyway?


Yours,

strobe mode?

[Raptor1]

Well... what i mean was...
say.. i set shutter speed of 1s. and i want my flash(FL-36) to fire twice in that 1s to capture the "movement"

[kcuf2]

that's strobe mode.. eow is correct

[Raptor1]

Any idea how to set that?
or is fl-36 unable to do that? =X

To be honest, I just push the test button (as long as you aren't using so much intensity as to need a full recharge). Here's one I did with a Metz flash (and an Olympus C-700 with a long exposure in a darkened room):

To really do bursts, you need a strobe with either a battery belt, or plugged into the wall outlet.

I was actually thinking of building one of those kit strobes like they used in discos way back when...up to 10 strobes a second, or even faster.

dats a great idea! i noe the SB800 has a "stroboscopic" mode.... but AFAIK the fl50 n fl36 dun have it...

Except what's called FP Mode which is to operate the FL-36/50 flash at faster shutter speeds (at lower output) to compensate for the focal plane shutter.
