FLASH — Flash CompensationFLASH — High Speed Sync
6766
The maximum sync speed for this camera is
1/300. However, with the 5400HS accessory
flash (sold separately) shutter speeds up to
1/12000 can be used. High-speed sync (HSS)
allows faster shutter speeds when fill flash is
used on moving subjects outdoors.
HSS also lets you use large aperture/high shutter-
speed combinations to separate your subject from the
background by limiting the depth-of-field.
High-speed Sync
Conventional Fill Flash
Attach the 5400HS flash and set it to standard mode.
• automatically appears in the viewfinder at shutter speeds faster than 1/300 sec when
the 5400HS is attached.
• Selecting HSS flash mode under fluorescent lighting may result in incorrect exposure.
• Flash and color meters cannot meter the flash when high-speed sync is selected.
• Pressing the depth-of-field button in HSS flash mode prevents release of the shutter.
• HSS is not available in wireless/remote flash mode or when the 2 second self-timer has
been selected.
• If you attach a filter whose stop’s increase is not 0 (i.e., ND), the proper exposure will not
be obtained. Press the flash’s HSS button to cancel the HSS.
Refer to the 5400HS instruction manual for details.
Use flash compensation to increase or decrease the output of the built-in or an
attached accessory flash up to +/–3 EV in 1/2EV increments.
Flash compensation changes the flash exposure by the amount set relative to the
ambient exposure.
Rotate the flash-compensation dial to
the desired compensation value.
• Flash compensation does not modify the output
of a flash connected to the PC terminal.
• Flash compensation has no effect on the ambient
light exposure.
Flash compensation and exposure compensation can be used
together.
