High-Speed Sync (FP Flash)
EX series Speedlites have a high-speed synchro (FP flash) setting for
shutter speeds faster than 1/125 second. This lets you automatically take
high-speed sync (FP flash) shots synchronized for all shutter speeds.
In high-speed sync mode the H icon appears next to the $ icon in the
viewfinder, when the shutter speed exceeds 1/125 second.
High-speed synchro photography is effective for portrait photography in
situations such as these:
(1) Taking portrait shots using daylight synchro, with the aperture open to
defocus the background
(2) Placing highlights (sparkle) in the eyes
(3) Adding supplementary light to shadowy areas

modes. In the Image Zone modes, the result is the same as for normal flash
shooting.
+ High-speed synchro shooting reduces the guide number of the flash. Be
aware that using high-speed synchro flash with insufficient natural light can
cause underexposure.
