High Speed Sync (HSS) Shooting
Although a high shutter speed cannot be used in normal flash recording, the HVL-F56AM or
HVL-F36AM flash allows you to take pictures using the flash with any shutter speed,
including a high speed. It also enables you to take pictures with the flash in bright conditions
with the iris open.
• In high speed sync mode, "H" or "HSS" appears in the viewfinder and on the LCD monitor.
• High speed sync mode is not available when the two-second self-timer or [Rear sync.] is selected.
