Hi-speed: If the shutter speed is faster than the camera’s sync speed (the quickest time taken to open and close the shutter), the flash will fire multiple times at high speed. The flash starts to fire while the shutter opens. This option can be set only when you attach a compatible, optional external flash. (SEF-580A)

The available options may differ depending on shooting conditions.

There is an interval between two bursts of the flash. Do not move until the flash fires a second time.

If you select Off, the flash does not fire even when an external flash is attached. If you adjust the flash intensity manually, the flash will fire once without a pre-flash.

Use only Samsung-approved flashes. Using incompatible flashes may damage your camera.
