- Flash sync speeds, flash duration and shutter speeds are often confusing when starting out in DSLR photography. visualeducation.com
What is HSS and why can't I sync my flash to use it at faster shutter speeds?
Also, if you like my training - please share with your photography friends and hopefully I can help them too!
Thank you,

Wow this was 9 years ago???? the quality of this content is even above than common tutorials out there this 2023!!!! Good thing i bumped into it.
There are a lot of videos on the internet that explain HOW to use HSS but this is the only one I've seen that actually explains the "science" behind it. It isn't necessary to know this stuff if you just want to learn the basics and start shooting but it definitely deepens your understanding if you know what is happening inside the camera. Thanks a lot, Karl!
its great the explanation of the curtains explains WHY the black in photos above 1\250
I know we are 7 billion people on this planet and everyone has different taste, likes and interests. But there is absolutely no reason to dislike THIS video. A supergood busy Pro Photographer takes 13 minutes of his life to explain this topic so good, helpful and enthusiastic to all us Idi*ts out there. But 33 People aren't synced to respect i guess. Thanks Karl

Steven Ralte I felt like whacking the flash on the table when I said flower! :)
Yes! Great video... but... in the video you talk about Hight Speed Sinc to solve the problem about possibility of certain DSLR to shoot very fast only with the slice windows method with certain flashes which use multiple bursts. You also says that cameras with leaf shutter haven't this problem (if you have a flash with high sync speed). I have a Nikon D800 so over 1/250 it uses the slice windows method. So my question is: How to identify which flahses (speedflash or portable lights, like broncolor) have this capability to produce multiple burst? I mean, if the camera had a leaf flash I would have only to worry about a flash with a similar maximum high sinc speed. But with a camera with the other kind of shutter, how can I identify the right flash to shoot in external daylight with enought power and a very high sync speed? Thank you!!!
yap, as much u mentioned. If there is something else then please bring that to.
***** Something is not clear: Speed Flash uses multiple bursts to make sure
that flash exposure lasts for the entire journey of that slit (created
by the two curtains) passing accross the sensor.
But a normal studio flash, like Broncolor you show in the video... does it do the same?
Because I have a studio flash (FOMEX HD 1000) but it doesn't sync over 1/250.
So when I buy a studio flash or studio and portable flash with battery pack, for example, what should I read in product features to be sure it will work to syncronize at high speed?
And what kind of trigger are compatible?
The flash can synchronise - it's your camera that can't. If you have a camera that can synchronise then the flash will match it. Most DSLRs can only sync to 1/250th, other cameras like medium format can sync at any speed. Ways round it are with hyper sync and HSS as explained in this video but there are limiting factors.
by far the MOST useful flash explanation I've come across. Thank you so much!!
How very nice of you to take time and effort to effectively share your know-how and know-why. I've learned a ton! More power to you. Live long!
Amazing training, everything is super clear. I love those speed flashes, use them often. I 'd love to thank you separately for your shutter demonstrations and clear English. Just wonderful! Thank you!
Man I truly thank for that video. You were the only one who explained it to where I could understand it. I had plenty of issues with my flash and didn’t understand the black lines in my photos. Now I know thanks to you. you’ve gained a new sub and fan!!
This is by far the easiest to understand explanation video about Flash sync speed that I have ever seen. Thanks Karl.
Cheers
newpixeldude totally agreed
Ditto!
Everything I wanted to know about this topic, and even more. Great video!
I now understand this! Thanks Karl! As clear as always.
thanks @Karl Taylor. Just watched 5 different videos which all failed to explain that... watched yours... now I get it. Cheers
Finally sync speed explained to maximum, this is the best sync tutorials ever. Thanks Karl.
I just came across this video just now, a full 3 years after it was uploaded. This is probably the best explanation of flash sync speed I've come across to date. Always a difficult area to understand but this video clarifies everything. Excellent explanation. Cheers.
Best explanation that I have seen yet. Very helpful for understanding HSS!❤
Thank you Karl! You made the whole concept of flash sync speeds very easy to understand.
Wonderful video. Thanks for taking the time to explain this so well.
Love it
So now every time someone is asking me about flash sync. I can send them strait to this video... Great job Karl !
Cheers, Frederic.
Karl, thank you very much for the clear and simple explanations along with the demonstration. I've been learning to use my flash in manual mode and couldn't figure out why I kept getting that band of light in my pictures.
Thanks Karl for the great explanation. I've been following you for years and have improved my knowledge thanks to your guides and videos!
The best example and explanation on the subject I've come across. Thanks to Karl and magic of RUclips, now I understand the why's.
I just ordered my first speedlite and was very confused about sync speeds and HSS. This video made sense and was very easily understandable. Thank you! Subscribed.
I already understood this before finding this video but this still has to be the absolute best video that grasps how to teach parts of photography. Very well done.
Thanks Karl for this detailed flash sync info, my high school photography teacher couldn't put it in ways that I can understand like you do.
Karl, you're amazing! keep up the good work!!👍👍
As always Karl, EXCELLENT training, very comprehensive. As a working professional photographer, I tune into your tutorials regularly to enhance my own abilities geared toward producing higher quality work. So thank you very much for your knowledge and teachings.
This is the FIRST video I've listened to explaining in easy to understand terms that FPS/curtains do "something different" at high speeds...great demonstration!
That was so well explained, thank you Karl. I've heard it all time and again but never understood it. Now I do! Thanks again.
Very well explained Mr. Taylor. Thank you for the effort of explaining high speed sync in a nutshell. Cheers!
As a new photographer looking for intelligent critique and explanations, your video was stellar and FAR better than many I've watched, not that the others weren't good, Rather your sensibilities toward educating are extremely spot on and highly informative. I'm a fan now for certain
Salute to your explanations and your enthusiasm to share knowledge
Karl Taylor excellent job explaining sync speeds, for many years and I mean many I just know what to do and not what to do when it comes to flash photography. Now I know why, thanks for sharing your expertise.
+Lewis Giles Your welcome Lewis, thanks for your feedback.
Great explanation. Than You very much Karl. This video helped me a lot with choosing flash.
Well explained, well done. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Congrats for all your great work.
Great video. I knew the basics of that issue but didn't know there was two shutter doors. Very informative and easy to follow. Thank you!
you make some of the best photography tips tutorials and education with great simple example on the web so far thanks very much for ur videos
Perfectly explained, genius in being able to simplify an often confusing subject, many thanks
Thank you Karl! Great explanation of the how and why of sync speed limitation. Also had no idea that the shutter operated that way on medium format cameras. Always enjoy your tutorials.
I have seen many videos on this topic earlier. But this one is where i was able to understand how hss technique works. Thanks Karl !!
Glad it was helpful
Very well explained Karl! You are one of the best photographers I've seen so far
Thank you Karl for this explanation. I thought it was something I was doing wrong! Thanks again.
Good clear presentation of HSS. I had learned it before, but I wanted to see how you present before subscribing to your other video tutorials.
Thanks for a simple to understand and thorough explanation! Gad to find your channel.
This is the best explanation about sync speed I've ever seen. Thx Karl!
Very clear and straightforward explanations. Thx Karl! You did great. Greetings from Malaysia.
Absolutely amazing topic with very nicely explained.. thanks a lot KARl.
Yesterday, I used the flash for the first time and ran into this issue. your video demystified the problem. Thanks, Karl. As always, your a goldmine of experience to learn from. Out of curiosity, I had another issue, the off-camera flash sometimes does not trigger at all, when I move a bit further (triggering the shutter remotely). My gear, A7R111, F20M , F45M (off camera flash)
Finally a way to understand this! Thanks Karl for this great visual!!
Excellent 13 minute flash sync tutorial. Keep 'em coming please Mr Karl.
Thanks Karl, this is exactly what I needed to overcome my dark exposures. Thanks..
So amazingly useful, clear and for me, timely. Many thanks!
+dopamining Word!
Thank you very much for posting this topic, with the explanation of an expert.
I certainly understand now how speed light works and want a Hasselblad.
Excellent video as always, thanks Karl.
Brill ,I didn't know about the leaf camera's but now understand where they get the name from and understand why a normal DSLR doesn't work at very high speed
Thanks so much Karl for this info, very very well explained, really love your tutorials.
Awesome. Thanks. You've made this confusing topic, at least to me, much less intimidating. You have a very clear teaching method
Karl this was an awesome video... This guy sugar coats nothing. Thanks man!
Clearest explanation I have ever heard over this, thanks v much for posting, I get it now!
I have learnt about photography in this video than I ever did in ALL other videos combined! WOW
Thanks Keith.
this video was so helpful! thank you Karl and all your hard work!
Amazingly helpful video, thank you!
Very concise explanation. Great stuff.
What a lovely video about what is quite a technical subject. Well done....
Brilliantly explained, great video.
I have never understood that before. Thanks for such a great explanation!
Best visual explanation of this topic that I have seen! It solidified my understanding...
Awesome tips Karl, thank you.
Thank you Karl. I'm really impressed and greatful for taking time to properly make me understand not only high speed flash but how the camera actually works as well.. I love this video
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Mr Taylor, great explanation about flash syn speed.
Great explanation of Sync Speeds...one thing I have been using to compensate for my slow sync speed is to just use an ND filter to bring down the ambient and turn up the power on my multi-flash setups. Great video!
Thanks Karl!!! I always get very useful information(technical) from you.
Really good explanation and easy to understand. Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for this very clear explanation. Now I know why everybody says that leaf shutter on x100f is so fantastic
Best explanation I've seen! Brilliantly explained! Could you also do a video about front vs rear curtain sync and what the practical differences are?
Karl, thanks for that comprehensive explanation. Best I have seen.
Wow!! I'm surprised you follow a thread this old. Thank You for commenting. For some reason I figured a photographer of your stature doesn't follow the comments more than a few days. I'm pleasantly surprised and glad you actually follow up on your videos. Thanks again.
+EFD620G Ha no worries, I keep an eye on youtube every now and again.
Very helpful! Thank you for being so thorough!!
Woow what an awesome explanation. Simple easy. Thank you so much and it is very very useful.
Thanks for the video Karl. Great explanation! Kudos!

The best explanation on high speed synchronization. Thank U Karl.
Very educational and clear, thank you very much for explaining this!
very clear explanation,
thank you Karl
You are awesome!!! Depth of understanding is fascinating and very clear!!! Thanks for this video Karl!!! :)
Excellent tutorial Thank you! Karl
Thank you thank you thank you! Finally I understand how it works. When I first learned about max sync speed quiet recently (did not understand it just learned I can't go to fast with flash) I was very relieved because I have thought for like 20 years that I broke my father's speedlight when I was young. I was using his old slr canon and being a fully mechanical camera it could of course not stop me from going to high on the shutter speed. I never knew back then why I got the black bars. I stopped using flash because of it.
these videos are really great! thanks a lot for sharing that
This video is amazingly clear on that concept!
i just bought a flash and watched this class, thanks Karl, now it's time to practice!
For the first time i understand everything!!! Best explanation ever!
this video was very helpful. i just ordered a flash and this knowledge will prevent my confusion if Ii see that blacked out portion
Very nice explained! Thank you sir!
Thank you for this in depth analysis. Your knowledge is greatly appreciated.
Thank you Matthew.
this was very good explained, thanks a lot!
I don't think anyone can teach photography better than you ever
