[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 211186, member: 12496"] Shutter speed is what makes the shutter speed stay open longer (it is not the flash). A TTL flash is still automatic flash exposure in ANY camera mode (including M mode). If in camera S or M mode, the shutter speed is whatever you set it to. So set it faster (and of these two, chose M mode, so that you can set f/16 too). The D200 will sync flash up to 1/250 second. This shutter speed will not affect the flash exposure. The flash is faster than that. The shutter speed affects any continuous ambient light, about which I doubt you are interested in. So set f/16 and 1/250 second in camera M mode. I assume a close subject distance, and maybe your flash has enough power to do f/16? Higher ISO will help it do it if any issue. In camera A or P mode, if with flash in less than bright light, normally shutter speed will be the 1/60 second minimum wit flash (not slower). However there are ifs and buts, one of which is if slow sync or rear curtain sync, which won't do that - so if you saw slower, it was not regular front curtain sync. [/QUOTE]
