Re: D 7000 flash sync question
High speed sync is not really the right approach, there is much better. The subject is well known. Read about hummingbird photography.
You use regular speedlight mode, which at lower power level, is fantastically fast, faster than any shutter speed. More power and range than HSS too, but HSS cannot stop motion.
It is said that 1/20000 second is needed to freeze the wings. Shutters cannot do that, but speedlights easily can, at like 1/32 power level.
Its good to be in the shade, at least in reduced sunlight, so the flash can do its thing. Read some of the links above.
You did not mention what flash. You will want an external flash for its power, but FWIW, the camera internal flash cannot do HSS mode anyway.
