7.4 Automatic high-speed
synchronisation ( FP)
Various cameras support automatic
high-speed synchronisation (see the
camera’s operating instructions). This flash
mode makes it possible to use a flash unit
even with shutter speeds that are faster than
the flash sync speed.
Interesting results may by achieved in this
mode when, for example, a wide open
aperture (e.g., f/2.0) is used to limit the
depth of field in portrait shots taken in very
bright ambient light. The flash unit supports
high-speed synchronisation in TTL and M
flash modes.
For physical reasons, however, high-speed
synchronisation significantly reduces the
number and the maximum flash range!
Be sure to note, therefore, the flash range
on the display of the flash unit. High-speed
synchronisation is activated automatically if
a shutter speed faster than the flash sync
speed is set on the camera, whether
manually or automatically by the exposure
program.
Note that in the case of high speed synchro-
nisation the guide number of the flash unit
also depends on the shutter speed.
The faster the shutter speed, the lower the
guide number!
Setting the mode of operation
• Switch on the flash unit with the
ባ
button. The start screen appears.
Thereafter, the flash unit always switches

between the flash unit and the camera.
• Press the sensor button of the displayed
mode of operation on the touch display as
many times as it takes for the display for
selecting the mode of operation to appear.

touch display and select .

touch display.
The setting will take effect immediately.
