Assuming this works like other Nikons, this is the confusing way they designate sync speed.
When you manually set the shutter speed to X-sync the camera sets the shutter speed to exactly 1/200th sec. When you use the i-TTL mode and let the camera control the flash, it will sync at up to 1/250th. Nikon also has a feature called auto-FP. When that's enabled, the camera automatically shifts into high-speed sync when you go above the regular sync speed. On other bodies there is a custom function that let's you pick the shift point from (if this body is consistent) 1/200th or 1/250th. Nikon uses the term FP-sync for what almost everyone else calls high-speed sync. gs George Sinos -------------------- gsi...@gmail.com www.georgesphotos.net plus.georgesinos.com On Thu, Sep 13, 2012 at 2:41 AM, Larry Colen <l...@red4est.com> wrote: > Flash Sync SpeedUp to 1/200 sec. > Synchronizes with shutter at 1/250s or slower -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
