[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 398525, member: 12496"] It is only X250 if you have 1/250 set as the sync speed in menu E1. :) It changes values. This X shutter speed position uses the E1 sync speed (regardless if using flash or not). Now in fact, the hardware sync speed is always 1/250 second, but the E1 menu simply lets us set a slower maximum speed with flash. Why we would, I dunno. E1 is NOT the shutter speed used, regular automation or Manual controls that. E1 is merely a Maximum limit with flash. (E1 also can enable Auto FP, different subject). But when we are setting shutter speed, this X position uses E1. My thinking is that the only reason for this X position on the shutter speed dial is that it is long way back from 30 seconds to 1/250 second, so this is a speedy shortcut. [/QUOTE]
