FJ80 II Speedlight: SYNC Functions

Enabling Front or Rear Curtain Sync

Front or Rear Curtain Sync is ideal in normal scenarios and when color consistency (5500°K ±200),
full-power output (80 Ws), and the fastest recycling are essential.

1. Press the

Sync

selection button repeatedly until three arrows appear in the white square at the

top right of the screen.

2. Front Curtain will show three arrows, with the first arrow filled in white.
3. Rear Curtain will show three arrows, with the third arrow filled in white.

NOTE

:

Utilize HSS (see below) when choosing to use shutter speeds above your camera’s maximum

normal sync speed (typically: 1/200s, 1/250s, or 1/320s ).

Enabling ‘HSS (High-speed Sync)’

High-speed Sync is 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.

1. Press the Sync Selection button repeatedly until an H with a lightning bolt appears in the white

square at the top of the screen.

NOTE: HSS requires an FJ-X Transmitter or FJ80 Series Speedlight.

Enabling Freeze Sync

Freeze Sync is ideal for freezing fast-moving objects lit by the speedlight.
