D5100 Flash Sync Speed
Feb 29, 2012 13:59:05 #
I read that the shutter speed can be a high as 1/200, yet anytime I force the fill flash in"P" mode (on board flash), the camera only uses 1/60th.......I can find no place in the manual that allows a different setting?
Any ideas appeciated.

Why are you not using "S" for Shutter duration, where you can choose 1/200-sec, and let camera select aperture?I read that the shutter speed can be a high as 1/200, yet anytime I force the fill flash in"P" mode (on board flash), the camera only uses 1/60th.......I can find no place in the manual that allows a different setting?

If you're in Program mode the shutter & aperture get set by the computer. Change to shutter priority mode to manually choose the shutter speed and allow the computer to choose the aperture based on the TTL flash measurements.

You can sync at 200 in manual and shutter priority mode not in P or aperture priority.
