Is there a High Speed Sync function? if so what is the max shutter speed the flash can sync to?

The HSS function of this awesome flash unit can be a wonderful tool in some situations but its important to understand that its characteristics for exposures faster than normal maximum sync speed ( 1/250s on A7) are much different from normal flash operation used for max-sync or slower exposures. Just for example the lamp has to fire a number of times (rather than once) at a reduced intensity throughout the exposure, which may not be ideal for some situations, again it is worth studying-up on. For more info the Sony manual is very helpful, also the following website helps illustrate the HSS functionality http://www.sony.net/Products/di/flash/01_basic/1-5.html The HSS function of this awesome flash unit can be a wonderful tool in some situations but its important to understand that its characteristics for exposures faster than normal maximum sync speed ( 1/250s on A7) are much different from normal flash operation used for max-sync or slower exposures.

Hi Corey, Sony HVLF60M Flash has HSS that enables the flashto sync with shutter speeds from 1/500 to 1/4000 of a second to catch fast-moving subjects. -Vincent

Hi, Please make sure that you keep your shutter speed at around 150/s. Beyond that the remote might not be able to synch up.

I believe it is 12800 or 25600 by default. I set mine to 12800 as max due to noise. But you can change the auto ISO range. Yes you can set the shutter speed to any setting and the auto ISO will compensate for the shutter speed. My only warning is at high shutter speeds except in good light, the ISO may get pushed to a point a lot of noise is introduced.

Have you tried using the AF/AE lock button located on top of the camera just behind the shutter release? I just got this camera myself so haven't explored all the features but that button is supposed to help you track moderately fast moving subjects.

Not quite sure what you are asking - if you are wondering about the maximum shutter speed, it is 1/8000th of a second.

The maximum sync speed is a function of your camera. I confirmed this on my D7100 which has a max sync speed of 1/250. It worked fine. Manual mode of course, since automatic will bring it down to 1/60.

Actually it's faster than the Sandisk Extreme which I believe is only at 45mbps...the Sandisk Plus is an equal to it made by Sandisk... but the Extreme Pro is the fastest one out right now. It has a write speed of 90mbps as this has 80mpbs like the Extreme Plus. I'm shooting with a Nikon D800 which shoots in very large RAW files and haven't had a problem at all. I love it. If you are a Sandisk fan I would recommend choosing the Plus or Pro if you aren't getting this.

No. The fastest any external flash sync is 250. Search flash: http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Panasonic_Lumix_DMC_GX7/

No. You re not. It is called slow synch. You can change sync. Speed by going into the camera's custom function and change it.

For me it was price, the IS was a little over my reach. You know you have a great camera you can push that ISO comfortable past 1600 . I recently did a wedding with only a spot light and no flash at 1600 at 5.6 or 2.8 between 15th 125 sec hand held it came out fantastic. Hand held is a trick to learn. I would think you will need to be above 125 second and higher with a depth of field f8 f16 and you said no tripod and I assuming no flash hand held. I think the IS would be worth the stretch if you can. For me it is beach pic on a tripod with weddings and party's One other thing I dont know what speed your camera sync for flash my Canon 60D sync at 250 or less but you can hyper sync flash above 250 but then you pick up a hard grain. If you intend to use flash the flash freeze the movement above 250 in hyper for no flash diffidently if you have the bucks I will assume the IS is as good or better in ether case you will have a top of the line lens good luck

This is a simple sync speed issue. Nothing to do with the flash extender. You're using too fast a shutter speed. Need to get under 1/250-1/200 depending on camera maker. Or, get a flash with high-speed sync capability.

I just bought these not too long ago and I've done 5 photoshoots with them and so far so good the refresh rate was fine I never really had to wait to take the next picture and yes I use a flash trigger by yongnuo and it synced just fine for me so I hope this helps

Almost instantaneous! A little slower if repeating flash photos, but I find that I can take nearly all photos with the flash off. This camera is so much faster than the previous digital cameras I have owned. I would put this little camera up against cameras that cost 2 to 3 times as much.

Sounds like you may have your camera in program or auto mode. Those modes will automatically pop up the flash in low light situation. Use Aperture or shutter priority or manual. I think thats AV and TV on Canon. Be sure to select a shutter speed below 1/200sec which is your flash sync speed.

Nope, the remote flashes are sync only - fire signal only. Whatever setting they are set to they will fire, must change them manually on flash. The transmitter on the camera is ETTL hotshoe, so that might work for that one (maybe), but not the others.

Yes this will work without the on-camera flash. It will handle high speed synch as well (I have had success up to 1/8000sec shutter). You will NOT be able to control the settings via the Nikon in-camera Commander settings as this will only affect IR speedlights triggered from the on-camera flash. Another benefit I like about these triggers is that the focus assist works well in very low light settings (better than the on-camera assist). You will need to get familiar with the manual to setup the triggers...this can get a bit confusing so read the manual carefully. I have had good success with these triggers.

What compact flash card did you use? Will the camera take advantage of the high speed in the newer CF cards?
