HSS (HIGH SPEED SYNC.)

Automatic flash activation at fast shutter speeds
A fully automated, camera-controlled HSS flash mode for all shutter
speeds and all exposure modes is available in the Leica M11 for use
with system-compatible flash units (see p. 120). It is activated by
the camera automatically if the selected or calculated shutter speed
is faster than the sync speed (1⁄180 s).
