[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 207663, member: 12496"] Well, the speedlight is one of the fastest motion stopping techiques we have. If the flash duration is only 1/1000 or 1/4000 second or 1/40,000 second, and the scene is dark black without flash, that is as good or better than any possible shutter speed. If the ambient is dim, it does not matter what the shutter speed is, the flash handles it. This is a radically different concept than what you are expressing, but it is the way that works. And it is so very simple. In dim light, where you need flash, just set maybe f/8 in camera A mode (or maybe better, also 1/200 second in camera M mode), with TTL flash mode, and you will love it. TRY IT. (bounce power has to be more like f/5). For anyone actually interested in details, naturally I would suggest reading at the signature link below. :) [/QUOTE]
