The only way to access the 1/150 sec. X sync. speed is using a dedicated
flash unit such as a AF200T or AF280T. Set the shutter to 1/200 sec.,
when the flash cycles and is ready to fire, the camera will drop down to
the sync speed from any setting above it in M mode, other than that I
have no clue.
