Setting the HyperSync Offset in the PocketWizard Utility
HyperSync
®
& High Speed Sync (FP Flash)
HyperSync allows for a PocketWizard
connected flash to begin firing just
*before* the camera triggers a sync
pulse. Since you are triggering “faster
than a wire” with HyperSync, you can
sync at shutter speeds faster than
X-sync for many cameras and get more usable flash energy before Auto FP (High Speed Sync) is activated.
Adjusting HyperSync is done in the PocketWizard Utility (see next page for adjustment suggestions). Proper
adjustment is dependent on on your equipment’s abilities. Try the default setting and look for clipping
(black lines in your images). Adjust up or down as needed to eliminate the black lines.
It is not always
possible to eliminate the black lines as the shutter speed increases.
HyperSync is used with shutter speeds as follows:
1/200 and slower
HyperSync not used
1/250 through 1/350
Auto-calculated HyperSync offset used
1/400
Full HyperSync offset used
1/500
Auto-calculated HyperSync offset used
1/640 and faster
FP Flash / High Speed Sync engaged
NOTE:
If you have a flash in the shoe of the MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 on your camera, it must be set to
High Speed Sync (FP Flash). If not, the camera will be limited to a 1/200 shutter speed and will not use
HyperSync timings. If there is no flash in the shoe of MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 on your camera, HyperSync
and High Speed Sync will be used automatically with your remote flashes.
