Select the appropriate sync mode based on your shutter speed and desired effect.

• HSS (High-Speed ​​Sync): Enables flash synchronization at shutter speeds faster than the camera's native sync speed (up to 1/8000s). Useful for overpowering ambient light or using wide apertures in bright conditions.
• Synchronisation des vorderen Vorhangs: The flash fires at the beginning of the exposure. This is the standard sync mode.
• Synchronisation des hinteren Vorhangs: The flash fires just before the second curtain closes. This creates a streaking effect behind moving subjects, giving a sense of motion.
