Custom Setting e1: Flash Sync Speed Setting
This option controls fl ash sync speed. Options
range from ½50 s (1/250, the default setting) and
1
/ 60 s (1/60). To enable auto FP high-speed sync
when using an SB-800 or SB-600 Speedlight,
select 1/250 (Auto FP) (if an SB-800 or SB-600
is not attached when this option is selected, fl ash
sync speed will be set to ½
50 s). When the camera shows a shutter speed of
½50 s in exposure mode P or A, Auto FP High-Speed Sync will be activated if
the actual shutter speed is faster than ½50 s.
