[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 824331, member: 50197"] Any exposure longer than 1/200 sec will sync with your D3300. The 685 will do High Speed Sync, if you put it in that mode. The down side is that you lose flash power in HSS. I don't know if there is a formula for how much you lose, but I have noticed that in manual mode, if I turn on HSS and crank the shutter speed up above 1/200, my images darken, and I have to adjust flash power, aperture, or ISO. I currently have no real need for HSS, so don't use it, mainly due to that power loss. Here is an example of the effect that BF talked about. This scene was backlit with reflected light. It was in shade, but light was reflecting off the water that was behind the plant. I wanted to get the shadow of the lizard to show, shining through the leaf. Both were shot with my 685 on, and in manual mode. Here is the first shot. There is enough ambient backlight to see the shadow, but it's not very noticeable. I had the shutter speed set to 1/180 sec, just below the max normal sync speed. Note, it will sync at 1/200 sec, but not above that without switching to HSS.
