[QUOTE="nickt, post: 678052, member: 4923"] I don't have anything to offer on your lag problem problem other than make note if your flash is charging back up during the lag. HSS pulses themselves should not cause a lag because they happen during the shutter cycle. I have not found hss to be flash-draining. Its just that you get limited power to illuminate because it is spit out there in pulses during the faster shutter cycle. Disclaimer: I am FAR from being a flash expert. I can explain the menu a little. Your flash menu probably looks like this: 1/250 (Auto FP) 1/250 1/200 1/160, etc If you choose the plain old 1/250, your shutter speed will be capped at 1/250 when a recognized flash is attached. You simply can not set a faster shutter speed. If you select "1/250 (Auto FP)", then your shutter will not be capped and you are free to select any shutter speed. So if you select 1/250 or slower, you will get the normal single flash. If you select anything faster than 1/250, then you will be in hss mode and subject to lower power. Your flash or trigger will need to support hhs or you will be capped at 1/250 even though you are set at 1/250 (Auto FP). [/QUOTE]
