Using high-speed sync
High-speed sync lets your flash automatically synchronize
with the camera shutter speed. This function is convenient
when you want to use aperture priority for fill-flash
portraits.
1
Press the
SYNC
button to turn on high-speed sync. The
icon appears on the LCD.
2
On the camera, set the shutter speed to high-speed sync.
For instructions, see the documentation that came with
the camera.
Notes:
• With high-speed sync, the faster the shutter speed, the
shorter the effective flash range.
• You cannot use high-speed sync with the Stroboscopic
flash mode.
• Try to avoid using high-speed sync flash because over
use shortens the flash tube’s lifetime.
Using second-curtain sync
With a slow shutter speed, you can create a light train that
follows the subject. Your flash fires right before the shutter
closes.
• Set the camera to rear mode.
Note:
For the Canon flash (NS-DCF200C), you can also
turn on second-curtain sync by pressing the
SYNC
button
until
appears on the LCD.
