High Speed Sync Focal Plane Shutters & Flash Sync Modern DSLR cameras use focal plane shutters to achieve speeds up to 1/8000th of a second. These shutters work fine with electronic flash at or below their sync speed. Sync settings range from 1/160th to 1/250th of a second depending on make and model.
Step two: Press the On button on the BRT616c (n). The Baja B-4’s Main Display, indicator lights and modeling lamp will light. Step three: Hold down the RPT (3) button on the back of the Baja until the flash fires. The Main Display (13) shows H.1. This setting is for most full frame cameras.
