60D + YN560 + High Sync Speed

Hi.

I've been trying to figure this out. Is it possible to have High Speed Sync using a 60D and a YN560?

I've read lots of contradictory stuff on the internet, so if anyone can clear this up for me that would be great.

I have made some tests and, for what i can see, i didn't find a way to make it work. But maybe i'm missing something...

No, it is not possible. You will need the YN-568 to do HSS.

You probably can, with the appropriate equipment, supersync your 560 to use shutter speeds higher than x sync. Using the YN-622 trigger in HSS mode tricks the camera into sending a sync signal just prior to the shutter opening. This in turn fires the remote flash and the flash's longer duration at full power provides illumination during the shutter's travel. Exposure is adjusted by juggling shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and flash to subject distance.

As frugivore stated, the 560 isn't designed to do true HSS.

ah, it sounded to good to be true...


guess i'll try using my ND filter next time!
