For example, if the number of flashes is 10 and the firing frequency is 5
Hz, the shutter speed should be at least 2 seconds.
Flash Mode-Multi: Stroboscopic Flash
Stroboscopic flash is most effective with a highly reflective subject
against a dark background.
Using a tripod and a remote control is recommended(Optional).
