FLASH SYNC SPEED

Flash photography is generally associated with a maximum shutter speed referred to as the flash sync speed. This restric- tion does not apply to cameras designed for high-speed sync (HSS) photography, since they allow flash photography at the maximum shutter speed of the camera. Sync speeds and high-speed sync for each camera are as follows.

Maxxum/Dynax 9:

1/300 sec, high-speed sync photography possible

Maxxum/Dynax 7, 800si, 700si, 600si:

1/200 sec, high-speed sync photography possible
