Enable HSS on the flash, it's one of the buttons. Be aware that you lose a lot of flash power doing this. -Dave

I've enabled HSS (H with lightning bolt symbol) on the Speedlite but still cant set Shutter Speed in TV mode.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. www.actionimages.net.nz

I'm totaly new to using a speedlite so none of it makes sense to me, What I want to be able to do is add flash fill while using a fast shutter speed to capture movement if that makes sense www.actionimages.net.nz

So manual mode doesn't make much sense, as the power and the ratio to the ambient/flash will change. Keep it in ETTL (or shoot in something other than Tv mode). -Dave

Either way, HSS will function in manual and ETTL mode.
