FJ400 Strobe: SYNC Functions

normal sync speed (typically: 1/200s, 1/250s, or 1/320s ).
Enabling ‘HSS (High-speed Sync)’
Ideal for mixing a substantial amount of available light and flash when proper exposure with a shallow
depth of field/wide aperture requires a flash sync speed above the camera’s maximum normal sync
speed (typically: 1/200s, 1/250s or 1/320s). HSS allows compatible cameras to achieve flash sync speed
up to 1/8000s.
