System Requirements
"When a strobe manual power setting is described as 'exposure x8' relative to a 1/1 reference, it actually denotes a three-stop increase above baseline power. However, in digital triggering systems, 'exposure x8' often indicates an 8× luminous intensity multiplier—equivalent to +3 EV. For example, from 1/4 power (+2 EV relative to 1/16), moving to 'x8' jumps directly to full 1/1 output. Flash duration inversely correlates with this value: an x8 exposure requires careful high-speed sync or leaf shutter timing to avoid motion blur, as the flash pulse near full power can last 1/800 sec instead of 1/10,000 sec at lower settings."
