    Hi - yours is one the first useful vid I have seen on the subject of using the Z9 with HSS. My question is have you tried to find the top end of the shutter speed you can shoot at with HSS and a capable external strobe -- like 1/32,000th with Freeze Flash settings on my Profoto. Sure unless you are trying to freeze bullets or items falling in water these settings are crazy -- but just how far can one go with a shutterless sensor that scans at 1/64,000th?

    • @TouchLifeStudio
      @TouchLifeStudio  2 года назад

    I have done a complete setup for HSS on my Z9. I shoot with Godox 200, 300, 400 and 600s with Flashpoint R2 Pro MarkII trigger. Trigger and all lights set for HSS.
    despite my best efforts , at 250th sec, I get black banding across the top of the frame. I have heard this is an issue with Godox and the Z9 not playing well together. Have you had any such issue?

    • @TouchLifeStudio

      I haven’t really had any issues with my HSS set up using Godox AD200 and the Z9. I’m not sure what might be the issue, as long as it is property set up. I need to test some other Godox units to see if I get any banding. With my AD200 I shot up to 1/8000 sec and no issues so far.

      I would say nothing to complain about. Z9 has faster shutter speed up to 1/32000 which for most cameras with a shutter is not the case. If nothing else Z9 technology is ahead of Godox technology and they may need to upgrade their tech to match Z9.

    Thanks for the vid. 3 questions. 1-You can't use that flash without the trigger/transmitter? 2- I thought the z 9 had a High-Speed Sync of 400? = thought I heard another Vloger say it. Maybe another camera review I seen. Enjoy your new camera. Does the camera get an accurate focus on the eye or subject in really low light situations?

    • @TouchLifeStudio
      @TouchLifeStudio  2 года назад

      Thank you for your questions ted ted. I’ll do my best to answer those.
      1. Godox AD200 flash unit needs a trigger (transmitter) if you need just to use these only. If it use another flash, AD200 can be set (optically) to receive other flashes signals and can be triggered.
      2. HSS is a function of a flash as long as camera supports shutter speed over 1/250 Auto FP (in case of Nikon)
      3. Z9 has a great AF in low light situations. At some point I plan to do a video on Star mode of Z9 (for low light).
      Hope this helps.

    • @BeaverFernandez
      @BeaverFernandez Год назад

      I think you should read the Manual again. Z9 Manual | e1
      Stated:
      Flash sync speed is set to 1/250 or 1/200 s. With compatible flash units, auto FP high-speed sync will automatically be enabled at shutter speeds faster than 1/250 or 1/200 s.
      In modes P and A, auto FP high-speed sync will be activated if the actual shutter speed is faster than 1/250 or 1/200 s. If the flash supports auto FP high-speed sync, the camera can select shutter speeds as fast as 1/8000 s.
      In modes S and M, the user can select shutter speeds as fast as 1/8000 s when using flash units that support auto FP high-speed sync.

    • @BeaverFernandez
      @BeaverFernandez Год назад

      1/250 for modes P and A
      1/200 for modes S and M

    • @BeaverFernandez
      @BeaverFernandez Год назад

      To fix this, stated here
      Auto FP High-Speed Sync
      Depending on the shutter speed, horizontal lines may appear in pictures taken using auto FP high-speed sync when [1/250 s (Auto FP)] or [1/200 s (Auto FP)] is selected. This effect can be mitigated by:
      choosing a slower shutter speed or
      adjusting flash output.

      @@harveycombarizagarcia5288 that’s how it works in Nikon mirrorless. I believe it is the same way in Canon. Sony and Fuji is slightly different. When you turn the flash off (bolt in circle) you will see changes in exposure when changing setting. However, when flash or trigger is attached and you enable Flash Fill, you are correct there is no changes in exposure. Advantage of that it allows you to focus in dark conditions, just need to manually regulate the output.

      Well.. a few thoughts. Make sure you activate flash ON function Z9. I don’t use SB-900, so I never used it with HSS. But if the flash is capable of HSS, check if needs a FW update as it may or may not have the same sync signal protocol. I pretty much retired my Nikon flashes and old DSLR triggers and transitioned to Godox.
