HyperSync® & High Speed Sync (FP Flash)

HyperSync allows for a PocketWizard connected flash to begin firing just *before* the camera triggers a sync pulse. Since you are triggering “faster than a wire” with HyperSync, you can sync at shutter speeds faster than

X-sync for many cameras and get more usable flash energy before Auto FP (High Speed Sync) is activated.

Adjusting HyperSync is done in the PocketWizard Utility (see next page for adjustment suggestions). Proper adjustment is dependent on on your equipment’s abilities. Try the default setting and look for clipping (black lines in your images). Adjust up or down as needed to eliminate the black lines. It is not always possible to eliminate the black lines as the shutter speed increases.

HyperSync is used with shutter speeds as follows:

1/200 and slower

HyperSync not used

 

 

1/250 through 1/350

Auto-calculated HyperSync offset used

 

 

1/400

Full HyperSync offset used

 

 

1/500

Auto-calculated HyperSync offset used

 

 

1/640 and faster

FP Flash / High Speed Sync engaged

NOTE: If you have a flash in the shoe of the MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 on your camera, it must be set to High Speed Sync (FP Flash). If not, the camera will be limited to a 1/200 shutter speed and will not use HyperSync timings. If there is no flash in the shoe of MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 on your camera, HyperSync and High Speed Sync will be used automatically with your remote flashes.
