On others it is a little faster, or a little slower. you can shoot in High Speed Sync(HSS), and that should allow you to shoot faster, but you are going to lose power when you do that. Watch this video. It should help. -Sac

Oct 02, 2012 18:26 | #5 Wow, thanks! I looked through the manual when I got it, then put it in the box & stored it away. I guess that's where I should've checked first.

And the more you increase the shutter speed, the more flash power you lose. Some Canon stuff and a little bit of Yongnuo.

I was just wondering if there was a way around this, and how. To be honest, I've had my camera about 9 months now, but there's still a lot of the 'technical' stuff that befuddles me. Thanks, ~Ace Yes 5d3 & Lens CoLLector

Or you could just go to the Canon site and download pdf's for all the kit you have .. it's easier to just 'scan' thru pdf's when you need an answer.

No you don't. You lose about a stop of power switching to HSS, but after that you are able to use a wider aperture with the faster shutter speed, so it balances out.
