[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 540040, member: 12496"] The D300 can do 1/320 second maximum, but the D610 can only do 1/250 second maximum. That is speaking of regular speedlight flash mode. Auto FP enables HSS (when the [B]actual shutter speed is set faster[/B] than the Auto FP menu speed). The camera can do HSS (via Auto FP), and perhaps your flash can too, but to see HSS, they both do have to be capable of HSS. HSS is called High Speed Sync, but actually it has no concept of sync. Speedlights are very high speed flash, but HSS is merely High Speed Sync (just meaning any fast shutter speed works). HSS cannot stop motion at all (HSS only has the shutter speed working for it, but speedight mode is faster). HSS is radically different than flash. The HSS flash becomes a continuous light which can work at any fastest shutter speed (continuous light has no concept of sync, and is not actually flash mode), but at only about 20% power level in order to be continuous. HSS is described at [URL="http://www.scantips.com/lights/flashbasics2b.html"]Auto FP and HSS - What is it?[/URL] [/QUOTE]
