High Speed Sync – HSS/Auto FP
High Speed Sync (HSS) mode is used to shoot at shutter speeds higher than a
camera's set flash sync speed (typically 1/200-1/250s). This is useful when using
aperture priority mode and in limiting ambient light. HSS results may vary with
different camera models – refer to your camera user manual for more details.
Please note:
1. HSS function is supported by the Phottix Indra500 TTL Studio Light, but it
cannot be set on the studio light itself.
2. The camera, flash trigger and receiving mode can greatly affect HSS mode.
For best results in HSS mode please use recommended Phottix flash triggers.
Please see the "Compatibility Table" below and refer to your flash trigger and
camera user manuals for more details.
3. HSS function will not work in Manual and Multi Stroboscopic mode.
4. Use the HSS mode frequently will shorten the flash tube life.
5. Nikon's flash protocols may limit the maximum sync speed of some Nikon
camera bodies.
