Ok Here we go, I'm self-taught and loving it, I try to have a go at any subject if it works fine if not no probs, this morning I was shooting some starlings" with my camera" from the back seat of the car, Sony A 580, minolta 75-300mm iso 400/800 with my Sigma EF-530 DG ST set ttl, low and full power settings to see what effect in real world time. The sony will only allow me a max shutter speed of 1/160
But today in the display I wound the shutter speed up to 1/1,200sec and it fired every time, at last here is the question I can't get it to do it again please help a 50 yr old man who is miffed Thanks Ian ![]()
In Canons the camera's and flashes can work together in a high speed synch flash mode HSS (almost certainly Sony has the same but different name). In this the gun fires a few times in quick succession to create a burst of flash pulses so you have a faster than flash synch shutter speed.
So do you need to put the flash into a special mode? You do on my camera.
Found it! Is the flash in a bounce mode? up, down, left, right? I dont think sonys can HSS in bounce. That is correct it will go above 1/160 in bounce mode!
The first sign of madness is talking to yourself and the second is answering yourself back, that’s me Mad!
Thank you Strawman
