SLOW SYNC

In P and A modes, slow-shutter sync sets the shutter speed and aperture value for ambient lighting and balances the flash output with the exposure .

• Slow sync cannot be used in S mode, or M mode.

HIGH-SPEED SYNC (HSS)

The maximum flash-sync speed for this camera is 1/125. However, with the 5600HS (D), 3600HS (D), and 5400HS accessory flashes (sold separately) shutter speeds up to 1/4000 can be used. High-speed sync is a function built into the HS series flash units.

High-speed sync (HSS) allows faster shutter speeds with fill flash when photographing 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.
