Right i know this is a silly question but if setting up in aperture priority in low light is there a feature like on the 20D to set the sync speed of the camera to 1/200 rather than it being in sync with the cameras exposure.

Nope, you're out of luck unless you switch to manual and set the shutter speed to 1/200 yourself since you know that's what you want.

Yes. CF 3-1 will default the shutter speed to 1/250 sec. when the flash is used in Av mode. If the flash isn't up to power, or you turn it off, shutter speed will revert to that needed for ambient light.

Unfortunately, the 1Dm2(N) does not have C.Fn-03 implemented so it can't be set.

Sorry, misread the post as "a feature, like, on the 20D"
