13 Flash synchronisation

13.1 Automatic flash sync speed control

Depending on the camera model and camera

mode, the shutter speed is switched to flash

sync speed when flash readiness is reached

(see the camera’s operating instructions).

Shutter speeds cannot be set faster than the

flash sync speed, or they are switched auto-

matically to the flash sync speed. Various

cameras have a sync speed range, for

example from 1/60 sec to 1/250 sec (see the

camera’s operating instructions). The sync

speed set by the camera depends on the

camera mode, the ambient light, and the

focal length of the lens used.

Shutter speeds slower than the flash sync

speed can be set according to the camera

mode and the selected flash synchroni-

sation.

If a camera with a between-the-lens shutter

and high-speed synchronisation (see 7.4) is

used, flash sync speed is not controlled

automatically. As a result, the flash can be

used at all shutter speeds. If you need the

full light output of the flash unit, you should

not select a shutter speed that is any faster

than 1/125 sec.

13.2 Normal synchronisation

In normal synchronisation the flash unit is

triggered at the beginning of the shutter time

(first curtain synchronisation). Normal

synchronisation is the standard mode on all

cameras. It is suitable for most flash shots.

The camera, depending on the mode being

used, is switched to the flash sync speed.

Speeds between 1/30 sec. and 1/125 sec.

are customary (see the camera’s operating

instructions).

No settings are necessary on the flash unit,

nor is there any display for this mode.

13.3 Slow synchronisation (SLOW)

A slow exposure (SLOW) gives added promi-

nence to the image background at lower

ambient light levels. This is achieved by

adjusting the shutter speed to the ambient

light. Accordingly, shutter speeds that are

slower than the flash sync speed (e.g.,

shutter speeds up to 30 sec.) are automati-

cally adjusted by the camera. Slow synchro-

nisation is activated automatically on some

camera models in connection with certain

camera programs (e.g., a night shot program,

etc.), or it can be set on the camera (see the

camera’s operating instructions). No settings

are necessary on the flash unit, nor is there

any display for this mode.
