High-speed sync is cleared when is selected with the
procedure described above, and a shutter speed faster than the sync
speed can no longer be set.
It is recommended that photos be taken in bright locations. When
photographing in dark areas the shutter speed will not exceed the
sync speed, even when is selected.
The flash range with high-speed sync is smaller than for normal
flash photography. Make sure that the subject is within the
displayed flash range before taking the photo.
High-speed sync cannot be used with multiple flash or bounce flash
in the upwards, left, and right directions.
When using a flash meter or color meter, high-speed sync cannot be
used because it interferes with proper exposure. Either select
to clear it or select a shutter speed lower than the sync speed.
Flash Sync Speed
Flash photography is generally associated with a maximum shutter
speed referred to as the flash sync speed. This restriction does not
apply to cameras designed for high-speed sync (HSS) photography
(p. 35), since they allow flash photography at the maximum shutter
speed of the camera.
