However, with the 5400HS accessory flash (sold separately) shutter speeds up to 1/12000 can be used. High-speed sync (HSS) allows faster shutter speeds when fill flash is used on moving subjects outdoors. FLASH -- Flash Compensation Use flash compensation to increase or decrease the output of the built-in or an attached accessory flash up to +/­3 EV in 1/2EV increments. Flash compensation changes the flash exposure by the amount set relative to the ambient exposure. High-speed Sync HSS also lets you use large aperture/high shutterspeed combinations to separate your subject from the background by limiting the depth-of-field. Rotate the flash-compensation dial to the desired compensation value. · Flash compensation does not modify the output of a flash connected to the PC terminal. · Flash compensation has no effect on the ambient light exposure. Conventional Fill Flash Attach the 5400HS flash and set it to standard mode. · · · · · automatically appears in the viewfinder at shutter speeds faster than 1/300 sec when the 5400HS is attached. Selecting HSS flash mode under fluorescent lighting may result in incorrect exposure. Flash and color meters cannot meter the flash when high-speed sync is selected. Pressing the depth-of-field button in HSS flash mode prevents release of the shutter. HSS is not available in wireless/remote flash mode or when the 2 second self-timer has been selected. · If you attach a filter whose stop's increase is not 0 (i. e. , ND), the proper exposure will not be obtained. Press the flash's HSS button to cancel the HSS. Flash compensation and exposure compensation can be used together. Refer to the 5400HS instruction manual for details. 66 67 FLASH FLASH ­ Flash Bracketing Use flash bracketing to expose 3, 5, or 7 frame flash exposure brackets in 0. 3, 0. 5, 0. 7, or 1. 0 EV increments.
