Quite frequently, both fill flash and a large aperture are desirable
in sunlight. For that, you need high-speed synch.

Modern flash units are worlds more powerful than what I had back when
I used flash a lot, and cover a lot of the need for this kind of stuff.

Sometimes I want to shot more or less towards the sun, and still need a
large aperture. I'm talking very high speed.

But the ND filter effectively reduces the stop in terms of how much
flash you can lay in the shot. In daylight and with no walls or ceiling
to reflect some of the spill light back, it's hard enough to get a
useful amount of fill. High speed synch is important for anyone who

I think I am the only other Z-5 user. I use a 330-FTZ flash unit
and the camera always shows 250 as flash sync speed with either

manual if it says anything about the analog flashes.

The MZ-5 can display "100", in fact it can display all the valid speeds
up to and including "2000".
I'm hoping that the camera WAS using 1/100th but displayi

Panning helps with slow flash sync, if one judges the speed and
direction correctly, just as you say above

Flash sync at 1/60 is inadequate for people in motion. Here's an
example of why I try to avoid slow sync speeds:

Artur,
I think it is a problem if the camera shoots at, say, 1/30th, because at
that speed the ambient light will affect the final photo, almost regardless
of what aperture I set. It's quite possible to have a situation where there
isn't enough light to shoot at 1/500th, which means I hav
er the whole film area) if the camera was operating at 1/60th. Would both
shutter curtains be open simultaneously at 1/60th? I suppose they would.
Of course, 1/60th sucks as a flash sync speed - 1/100th is bad enough.
I'm surprised the MZ-S has a top speed of only 1/180, compared to
