Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of flash triggers, and in particular relates to a slow-door flash triggering control circuit and a control method. Background Art

[0002] Flash triggers are auxiliary equipment in photographic equipment, and are generally used in studios with various flash lamps. Flash triggers are installed on cameras and control flash lamps through optical, wired or wireless means, so that the flash time of the flash lamps and the shutter of the camera can work synchronously. During the shooting process, in order to achieve good photographic effects, most professional cameras are equipped with external flash lamps, which are connected to the flash triggers by radio, optical cable, infrared or direct circuit connection. When taking pictures, when the operator presses the camera shutter, the camera transmits the trigger signal to the flash trigger through the output electrode, and the flash trigger sends instructions through the control circuit to activate the connected flash lamp, so that the flash lamp and the camera shutter work synchronously.

[0003] When the existing flash trigger is used, it generally needs to be equipped with an independent external battery for power supply. The flash trigger cannot be used independently, which easily brings inconvenience to the user.

[0004] In order to solve this problem, the patent with publication number CN220473834U discloses a flash trigger with a charging effect. A battery is arranged inside the flash trigger, and the battery is electrically connected to the control circuit board. When the flash trigger is in use, the battery can power the flash trigger and the camera. There is no need to prepare a separate power supply, which is convenient for users to use and improves the user experience.

[0005] However, the flash trigger disclosed in the above patent only has the function of shutter triggering, and can only perform conventional shutter shooting, and cannot facilitate slow shutter shooting. Conventional shutter shooting has only one flash in one exposure process, and when shooting moving objects, it will form a smear, making the shooting effect poor. If you want to better shoot the whole process of the moving object, you usually need to take multiple shots and show the motion effect by superimposing multiple photos, which is inconvenient.

[0043] Furthermore, in step S1, after the flash trigger is turned on, the PD fast charging module of the flash trigger will perform a power detection and indicate the power level through the LED.

[0044] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0045] Firstly, when the flash trigger of the present invention is in use, upon receiving a trigger signal from the camera, the button module can set the flash parameters such as the number of flashes and the flash frequency of the flash through the main control module. Within the camera exposure time, the flash flashes multiple times to achieve slow shutter speed shooting, leaving multiple images in one photo. When shooting a moving object, the entire process of the movement can be recorded, and the shooting effect is better.

[0046] Secondly, when taking pictures, the PD fast charging module can also be used to power the flash trigger and camera battery, providing an external power source for the camera, thereby making up for the problem of insufficient working time of the camera's own battery. It also allows the flash trigger to be used independently, making it more convenient for users to use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
