Speedlight High Speed Sync Made Easy! In this lighting tutorial we show you how to set up a speed light to be able to shoot high-speed sync on location. We'll show you how to set up the Westcott FJ80se to do high-speed sync. Then we'll show you how to use that speed light in bright light situations, some more contextual situations and some really tight beautiful bokeh situations. Take a look and let us know what you think!

Gorgeous photos, and using the sun as a second light is fantastic!

true for most cameras but not only global shutter but also leaf shutters sync at higher speeds

[RomanticPhotographic]

High speed sync is easy. It's second curtain sync that defeats me! As an aside, Elsie's outfit is terrific. Love that ragged edge top and billowy pants. Nicely done.

[Frank]

Great photos. Thank you for the tutorial.

One question .. which flash mode did you use in the S5ii? Just the standard? I just received my S5iiX and see there are 4 flash modes and off. I've used off camera flash in the past but my old camera wasn't capable of HSS so this part is new. I have a transmitter and single flash unit on the way.

So shutter speed in high speed sync will affect flash and ambient exposure - but shutter speed only affects ambient when not in high speed sync?

[joeep]

Thank you for the video. The background looked great, but to me, it seems the model needed 1-1.5 stops of light.
