FLASH SYNC SPEED
Flash photography is generally associated with a maximum
shutter speed referred to as the flash sync speed. This restric-
tion does not apply to cameras designed for high-speed sync
(HSS) photography, since they allow flash photography at the
maximum shutter speed of the camera. Sync speeds and
high-speed sync for each camera are as follows.
• Maxxum/Dynax 9:
1/300 sec, high-speed sync photography possible
• Maxxum/Dynax 7, 800si, 700si, 600si:
1/200 sec, high-speed sync photography possible
• Maxxum XTsi, HTsi, and Dynax 505si, 505siSuper:
1/125 sec, high-speed sync photography possible
• Maxxum STsi, QTsi, 400si, 300si, and Dynax 500si, 500siSuper,
404si, 303si, 300si:
