According to Shipman, the F280 is the electronic equivalent of an FP
flashbulb. In the FP mode, the F280 can "spread out" the light to occupy a
longer time, say 1/40 second. The light emitted is not continuous, but it
is pulsed on and off, 20,000 times per second. To the film, this light
appears to be continuous light.
A number of people seem to be complaining about the weak power of the F280.
In the FP mode, the F280 is meant to be used in daylight. It is not
intended to be used to make the indoors at night look like daylight for a
long period of time. I would think all the on-camera flashes have
limitations.
