ABSTRACT:
An electronic flash control system and method for a high-speed repeating flash having a main capacitor which stores energy for flashing, a discharge element, a switching apparatus, a control unit and a photometric unit. The switching apparatus causes the discharge element to flash multiple times during the exposure operation of the camera based on a signal from the control unit generated in accordance with the duty ratio. The duty ratio for each flash is determined by the control unit based on a signal from the photometric unit representative of the quantity of light from the previous flash of the discharge element. As the control system does not perform real-time control, delays of the control system do not adversely affect accuracy.
