High Speed Sync - Minolta Maxxum Dynax 7 User Manual

HIGH-SPEED SYNC
High-speed sync
The maximum sync speed for this camera is 1/200. However, with the
5600HS(D), 5400HS, and 3600HS(D) accessory flashes (sold
separately) shutter speeds up to 1/8000 can be used. High-speed sync
(HSS) allows faster shutter speeds when fill flash is used on moving
subjects outdoors. HSS also lets you use large aperture/high shutter-
speed combinations to separate your subject from the background by
limiting the depth-of-field.
Attach the 5600HS(D), 5400HS or 3600HS(D) and set it to
HSS mode.
• automatically appears in the viewfinder and
the navigation display at shutter speeds faster
than 1/200 sec when the 5600HS(D), 5400HS,
or 3600HS(D) is attached.
