High Speed Sync and How it Works - Lighting Tutorial
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 сер 2024
- To understand high speed sync, we need to understand how shutters work. Most camera shutters are two curtains that open and close. I know there are some cameras with a leaf shutter but that is for a different lesson. At speeds slower than 1/125th, or 1/60th depending on your camera, the first curtain open completely before the second curtain begins to close. At faster the first curtain of the shutter opens and before it is completely open the second curtain starts to follow it and close. This means that there is no time that the sensor is open to light all at once. A small slit travels across the sensor exposing the frame it as it goes. If your strobe goes off during this time, it show a black bar at the bottom of the frame, basically the part of the image that was not exposed to the strobe flash.
High speed sync solves this problem by firing the strobe in pluses as the first curtain opens and continues to pulse until after the second curtain closes. It happens so fast that the sensor perceives the flash as continuous light.
The upside is that you can shoot at fast shutter speeds keeping your strobe synced with the camera, allowing you to shoot with a wide open aperture in bright light situations and giving you a nice shallow depth of field. You can also strobe light your subject and then crush the BG with the shutter making your subject stand out. Remember: shutter controls ambient light and we match the aperture to the power of the strobes.
Let’s look at our shoot in downtown Los Angeles. We took beautiful Angela Whitworth downtown and shot on Grand Ave. In LA you can get a permit that allows you to shoot on the street as long as you aren’t blocking traffic or the sidewalks. I am shooting on my Canon 5D Mark III, starting with a Tamron 24-70mm lens. The camera settings are ISO 320, shutter 1/500th of a second at F4.5. The key light is a medium, silver lined soft box. It will give us nice highlights on her skin. We put a full orange (CTO) on the light and I will shoot on Tungsten for my white balance. We will allow the shadow exposure to be bright enough so the shows are blue on her face.
That is it. One Baja B4 with a full CTO.
I did a few shots at the end with another light as a rim. I used the back of a mirror as a bounce board under her chin to open up some of the shadows.
I hope you learned something about high speed sync today - how it works and how you can manipulate the background light with your shutter while still getting enough light on the subject. Keep those cameras rollin’ and keep on clickin’.

All of you here need to stop complaining and thank this man for working so hard to teach you people things you don’t even understand in the first place wow. Thanks my friend for the awesome vids. Now can you use HSS at night. And one more thing Ladies and Gentleman you can accomplish high-speed sync with most speedlites that you probably already own
Jay P., I finally gave in and purchased my Baja B4 after watching this video. I used it for the first time this weekend and it performed like a charm - and NO cables! Yay! I was on the beach in Toronto with a monoblock, just great stuff. Paired with a 80x100cm softbox, the light was dreamy. Thanks for the info.
Oh my god love the lighting. It's so 90s shampoo commercial but in a good way.
you explain very well! I was looking for solving some doubts on High Speed Sync! thank you so much!
Love the tutorial, awesome as always. Thanks for taking the time to put these together! :)
Thanks Filip
Fantastic photography channel. I love your in-depth, technical descriptions and explanations. They are great for a scientific mind that wants to understand the ins and outs of photography. Keep up the great work!
+Brad Wilson Thanks Brad!
Thank you very kindly. Very helpful to a budding photographer from the UK
LOVE the way you light and work...
Love the vids and I learn a lot, but not all of us can afford big flashes so we have to use the little flashes that you don't like, keep up the good work.
sir u did a great job...
don't listen to the haters.
one or two were a bit overexposed... But i really loved the concept.
Nice video guys !
Thanks, I was looking for the technical explanation of HSS.
Thanks for watching!
Another great video from this channel that I was able to get some screenshots of equipment and set-ups from. I still have to use speedlights and variable ND-- and hope the subject doesn't plan on moving faster than 1/200 second, but that's alright.
You gotta love the people complaining about these demo pictures even though the thumbnail is what brought most of them in... (That, or people just really don't know what HSS is and were drawn in by the technical promise of the title).
Thanks Wilson, glad you enjoyed and found it useful.
Informative video. I have been trying high speed sync and was surprised to see the shutter speed effect the exposure of the strobe past 250th of a second. I thought the strobe would stay constant regardless of shutter speed. Thanks for your work.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your comment!
Upbeat and informative - thank you! :)
Great video and info.
P.s I love those little flashes
They are really so creative. I am quite speechless from the work.
Thank you! We are excited to continue producing new content every thursday :)
Your video with Dynalite Baja B4 very good, I'm now sure I will buy this, my doubts just after seeing his video.
High quality photos, great video and thank you for sharing and teaching.
My pleasure! Glad you found it worthwhile!
good job guys
not a good video on HSS, blue background kinda weird and background looked over exposures, the whole idea of HSS is to correctly expose background or even under expose to get the subject to pop, the girl was cute though
Zardos Spinosa Correct exposure is subjective - “correct” is whatever your vision as a photographer needs. Please don’t be one of those people who like to troll the Internet shitting on other people
Man I remember you from R.I.T. .. i always think about that armadillo every time i'm doing a studio room set ...
Great memory! Still have the armadillo!
What an engaging model. Well done darling.
JP and crew-I really want one of your T-shirts!!!!!!
+Charlie Sill Working out the final details but they will be on sale soon.
Excellent! Looking forward to our #SlantedLens Ts
Just love your equipments
Glad you enjoyed the video. Keep on clickin!
Makes something so complicated, very simple
well explained!
Thank you
+F. Ball Thanks and you're welcome!
HI, You strobe manufacturer would let you know by the model you have, Mine has a button to press to turn it on. You also have to have a trigger that will allow you to do so.
Check out your model either where you bought your flash or look online. Good luck!
Nice stuff to watch.. .thx
Great work .. thank you
You are welcome! Thanks for watching!
thanks for your video- is the x sync speed limitation (non HSS mode) still applicable to electronic shutter mode (as well as regular mechanical shutter mode)? (wondered if the physical curtain/shutter isn't moving in electronic shutter mode if this still applies)- thank you!
You are awesome. Really learning from your videos.
Subhasis Mukherjee Great to hear! Thanks for watching.
You really need a whole team for this kind of setup. I'll need to find some help!
Recruit some of your friends!
Good video! I want to learn more about lighting.

@@TheSlantedLens Thank you very much. I will check it out.
That model is credited as "talent" - euphemism at its best !
Hi Jay P Morgan
Thank you for your great video. I love it. You got a great team
I already have 5D Mark3
I am going to buy this light Dynalite Baja B4 Battery-Powered Monolight
To do HSS, do I have to buy anything else?
Thank you
Oup Kip A great location and subject? Sounds like you will have the equipment part covered though. Don't forget a lens, and have a good shoot.
You should do a behind the scenes on your crew. They're out there WORKING! Good video.
Thanks nune, they're great.
Will the Baja B4 do HSS with the Sony A7 series?
Nice video. Congrats.
U know u look like Michael Douglas dude
Awesome! Thank you!
You're welcome! and keep on clickin!
Thanks for all your video assistance to make all my pictures look good. Talking about Flash High Sync, this a good way to shot in DSLR above 1/4000 with flash. To shoot high speed 1/4000 or above, is not necessary Flash Slave Trigger Hot Shoe Sync Adapter. The only thing that you need is a flash with High Sync, Camera with flash sync speed option. First mount your flash on top of your camera, set it up to Manual or ETTL mode full power, enable the H sync. turn on the strobes or flashes synchronized to slave 1. Thats it.
Thank you so much for all your videos I learned a lot from them. My question is why do you like the Baja b4 and b6 so much? And how do you find it in comparison to profoto b1 or to phottix indra500?
Thanks again.
+Fahad Bashraheel Hi Fahad. The Bajas are great lights for the price. Built to last and with great features and consistent performance. The profotos are very nice but they are also very expensive.
+The Slanted Lens thanks.
But what about the Phottix Indra500 as compared to the Baja?
+The Slanted Lens and did you ever face any overhead problems with the Baja?
I just testing these and am finding you can't really use HSS above 1/4000th because of the falloff. This means that you are not going to be able to over power full sunlight in a situation you might end up in sadly. however the recycle time is much better than the off brand units I had purchased to test a couple months ago.
You can also achieve the same effect-using an - ND1.2 - 4/f Stop Neutral
Density Filter if you normally set your flash exposure to F/11 you
would then set your aperture to F/2.8 when using a - 4/f Stop Neutral
Density Filter. This gives you exactly the same exposure but
significantly less depth of field.
Excellent I use to use the flashes whihc became a pain
I have the Baja B4 awesome light. My remote is not right have problems getting the power buttons to work and when I hit the test botton it fires multiple times. Need a new remote trigger
Pretty model.
sir,
Can help me telling the difference between Dynalite Baja B4 and Broncolor Siros for high speed sync.
Man and his toys. At first glance, I thought it was a skit from SNL.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Love your videos. Lots of personality and good humor. -@HottShotzPhotos
+HottShotz Photography Thanks
Can high speed sync be useful with a speedlight? or is a baja bf or monolight be more useful because of the amount of power it gives. edit: just saw the end of the video, thanks for the info
+Alberto Medina Thanks for watching Alberto!
I "like" how he publishes the various accessories.
Good video, vanilla photos.
Besides possibly degrading image quality a little bit, what's the pros of using HSS compared to just using a ND filter to achieve the same result?
Totally and fantastically incomprehensible ! Flash is impossible to understand.
"How to enable HSS. I have sony SLT A58, Godox AD200 flash, and Sony X1T-s trigger, but still beyond 1/250 sync speed (shutter speed) during bright day light, I am getting dark bands on the face of the photograph. What is the solution. Thanks."
hey millind, we are actually going to do a lesson on HSS pretty soon!! so stay tuned!
I can understand that the lower the power, the higher the freezing speed, but in the dark, if the HSS is bright, how does t0.1 and HSS show the graph? Why does it take more power?
Angela Whitworth is absolutely gorgeous!
Is there really a need for HS sync in this shoot? You can easily change ISO 320 at 1/500s to ISO 100 at 1/160s and keep the same f stop. The 5DIII he is using is fully capable of syncing at 1/160s. Am I missing something?
aluzexp I used ISO 320 for this particular shoot because it was a little overcast the day of the shoot. If it had been a bright sunny day, I would have dropped my ISO to 100 but 1/160 would have been too bright for the background.
Good points to know, that HSS decreases the light output and drains batteries faster. I kept it turned ON all the time even when my shutter is less than 200, which is not a good thing to do. Lesson learnt. Thanks.
Yeah, you are losing a lot of power when you use your strobe that way. Thanks for watching!
What's the downside to using a Variable ND filter instead of HSS? Obviously HSS will work with fast-paced action, where a VND filter will not, but for portraits this is not an issue.
Using nd filters will degrade the quality of image because you are adding element in your lens it makes the background dark and so is the subject. So you still need flash when shooting portraits
amazing work how do i get a permit to shoot in dtla?
Edward Escobar www.filmla.com
please answer my question that is does canon 700d supports high speed sync ?
You should be able to find that in the specs of the camera online.
I've been looking for some heavy duty light stands ... Which ones did you use in this shoot?
+Gabre Cameron These are Matthews stands, you can find the 12' ones here: bhpho.to/1rpSMYD. Lately, I have been using Kupo's click stand more and more and have found them very useful: bhpho.to/1r2oAlz.
The Slanted Lens Thanks!
How many battery powered strobes do you typically work with on a shoot?
Anywhere from one on up. Just depends on what we are shooting.
Hello. a question the Newwer 565EX flash has that option to put high speed? or the problem is my Nikon d3100 camera. ? what can i do in this bucket to be able to take pictures with high speed ? thank you.
High speed sync works between the trigger and the flash unit. So if you have a dedicated trigger to your flash unit is will work seamlessly.
BTW this is my second time watching this video :) its a great video for sure
Thanks!
Was hoping for a better result... Pictures bit too flat for my taste. They are more magazine style, than arty.
Curious, how much was the permit?
So complex. Lots of equipments. But good results.
Thanks for watching Douglas! We've done another one with less equipment here: ua-cam.com/video/QChDebbC-EI/v-deo.html
These days Lightroom negates the need for such precise lighting setups.
Does it depend on your strobe for high speed sync. Im having trouble using it with my speedlite.
+lockinvar denis Sorry for the delay. Have you figured it out?
yes i have thanks. I need a special pocket wizard to do so thanks.
The instruction was excellent but I would have like to see more actual shooting and results. Love the tutorial though
Thanks for your feedback, Lorenzo! I really do appreciate it:)
what brand is your remote wireless triggers?
When I am only using Dynalite Baja strobes, I'll use the trigger from Dynalite. Otherwise, I use PocketWizards.
Such shot can be easily taken by normal TTL settings. If you are not darkening the background by exposing the subject i dont think HSS is required. With HSS you can have increased the shutter speed till 1/4000 to 1/8000 to get some better HSS shots.
Good point. Thanks for sharing your expertise!
Why not use continuous lighting instead? Would that accomplish the same thing?
High Speed Sync provides a brighter burst of light. We have a video comparing continuous with strobes, check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/74nEdLxe-Ko/v-deo.html
What’s the point of using HSS if your background is still over exposed?
Angela Whitworth is a fabulous looking lady
Gorgeous woman!
I have learn so much watching your tutorials. Here is what I have learned through try and error: You need remote triggers (No all are high sync capable) and you need some strobes (No all are high sync capable) and finally you need a fast lens. By using the youngnuo 568 EX $ 70.00 and some Viltrox FC210 triggers $ 40.00, and a $ 30.00 reflector I have been able to get some very good shots in a budget. Canon 5D Mark II with Canon 85mm F/1.8 prime.

Still can not find the song with the guitar playing in the beginning of the video
If anyone knows it please let me know the name thanks
Is says Edge intermental 47 form triple Scoop. I hope that helps.
The Slanted Lens I can’t find it on you tube
gOOOd
Certainly not on a TFP budget... And commercial photographers certainly don't need this lesson. :-)
How much was that permit? In New Jersey the price for the application is $250 and the permit is another $700
Yeah, permits are too pricey. Thanks for watching!
@@TheSlantedLens you're welcome. But how much did they charge you? I only know the rates here
Wow.
Way to go!!! Put down every beginner and pro for using those little lights that you hate so much. I'm not going to say your pictures were horrible, but there could have been more separation and if your not going to direct the model then delegate someone who knows how to.
I'm sorry, Robert. My goal wasn't to put anyone down, I was simply stating my opinion. The purpose of these videos is to use what I have learned to hopefully help others learn as well, so I definitely wouldn't say that my videos are meant to be the final rule on photography. Instead they are my take on what works and doesn't work in this business.Thanks for your feedback!
It is OK to use ND filters for wide apertures...
whats the name of the song in the begining
The song names are listed at the end of the video in the credits. We get all our music from Triple Scoop Music. Great music company.
Would be nice to have so many assistants and so much gear.. :)
All my outdoor shots at www.allansinclair.com were done w/1 YN flash (100) and the indoor ones w/1 flashpoint strobe (199)..
I checked your website and your work is amazing. So much better than any of these UA-cam people with a zillion assistants
Very nice website!
Also for sport.
I have not used it for sports.
Expensive gears and not so good pictures :((
RIGHT!!!??? I'm not impressed at all.
I dont think he knows what hes doing...lol
People may fire 50cal bullets at me but... I personal have found "cheap" equipment to work just as good if not BETTER than the high cost premium stuff. I can care less if you spend $80k on your setup. I've seen $3,000 knock out better pictures than this lol
Pretty much the reason why I unsubscribed from this channel.
Not only is his style of presentation a tad bit annoying (his way of talking and explaining things REALLY grinds my gears), but his photos and examples are just outright terrible compared to the gear masturbation that he does.
"Couldn't care less."
Sure HSS is a great feature. Great shoot BTW.
But for that setup, the result of 1/500s f4.5 iso320 can be easily achave by using iso100 1/160s f4.5. HSS is a waste in this shoot.
Nice girl.
Can alien bees do hss?
how this video teaches something? maybe for those who uses the same stobes..witch we dont :D
I respect your opinion but it is not good to judge it that is not useful...because simply i learned a lot from it as I didn't know what is HSS and the video explained it pretty well and better than many other videos
Miss explanation in a lot of settings and confgs...
Hi, its obvious your are a quite highly qualified photographer with very expensive camera and equipment. I have just purchased a SB-910 speedflash and Camera Nikon D5500 I can tell you that it will not sync to 1/1500 of a second. high speed. and if I were to shoot high speed as you say, my battery would last only for 10 shots max.
The SB-910 does do high speed sync but it puts out very little power in doing so and could not be used for a model shoot like this. www.nikonusa.com/en/learn-and-explore/a/tips-and-techniques/using-auto-fp-high-speed-sync-to-illuminate-fast-sports-action.html
Where is the guild to quote a client?
+Kevin Costello theslantedlens.com/how-to-estimate-a-shoot/
+Kevin Costello That is a pretty funny video! The How to Estimate a Shoot video that you can purchase here (theslantedlens.com/how-to-estimate-a-shoot/) lays out all the information you need in order to avoid costly mistakes. It is the guide I use to create quotes for all of my productions.
I've learned a lot from your videos. Thank you.
(I feel compelled to say SOMETHING to counterbalance the nastiness in some of these comments.)
Thanks, Mason! If I've learned anything from all my years in this business it's that you can't please everyone!
High speed sync as it applies to on camera flash would be of far more value to the people watching UA-cam. I shunned it for years as an unreliable gimmick. Lately I've been exploring it and it's interesting. The sun makes a great hair light.
Interesting ! Expensive gear :(
why didn't you shoot at ISO 100 if you wanted to underexpose the background... instead you shot at ISO 320 and then uses HSS for the sake of using HSS... what are you even doing?
Varun Kamal I was wondering the same thing.
