High-Speed Sync
High Speed Sync (FP flash) enables the flash to synchronize with all
camera shutter speeds. This is convenient when you want to use
aperture priority for fill-flash portraits.
With a slow shutter speed, you can create a light train following the
subject. The flash fires right before the shutter closes.
