Anybody familiar with the 550s stroboscopic function. I am planning on using that function for a shot an was hoping for some examples or tips or any info besides the limited information in the book. I am trying a 2 second exposure and want 2 or 3 flashes at about 10 feet away. I cant say more then that its for a challenge. Any help?

If you can't find it here you probably cant find the info on the web :)

Gordon beat me to it ;)

When it comes to the 550, though, experimentation is the key. The math is simple: If you want 2 second exposure and 2 flashes, set it to 1 hz (=1 flash per second) and 2 flashes.

Cheers,

Haje

Are this function is usable on the G3?

You set them on the flash, so yes, it SHOULD work. However, I did have some problems with my Pro90IS and a 420 flash - not all the functions would work.

My only advice; Try it!

That seem to be the only way, as always :)
