[QUOTE="Jip, post: 631753, member: 43887"] Seriously guys I hope you guys know that as soon as your flash goes into HSS mode you lose power, the light will be less intense since the flash has to strobe multiple flashes I stead of one. Unless you use big of camera flashes there is no reportage flashgun yet to be able to HSS at the same intensity as it can when it just flashes once. Once it goes into HSS it has to flash many times while your shutter curtain goes past the sensor, almost invisible to the human eye... if you’d want to do this at full power you’d either burn your flash and need a bigger capacitor. The flash acts more as a constant light rather than a flash. Sure you can set flash at maximum in manual mode and it’ll automatically go do it’s HSS dance once the shutter speed is faster than the syncspeed of your camera. This does however change the intensity of the flash light.
