If you set a higher shutter speed, the camera will automatically drop it to 1/250 when you meter. The only way around it is to enable HSS, I believe. With HSS you can use up to 1/8000.

Where's this safety shift found and how does one turn it off?

If the shutter drops below 1/200 sec it will shut the HSS mode off. You then have to reenable the mode as I recall. Using Tv or M mode helps but there is a sequence to set things up; 1st set the shutter speed faster than 1/200, then put the flash in HSS mode by pressing the + or - button until "FP" appears in its LCD display.

Confirmed it with my 60D. Both external flash in ETTL and the popup will drop the SS to the maximum sync speed (1/250). The external flash on the hotshoe will drop to sync speed in manual mode as well. Gerry

I don't think that's the problem, but I'd like to know anyway. It can't be Safety Shift because my research indicates SShift... 1. only works in Av and Tv, not Manual, and 2. in Av it changes the aperture, not the shutter speed. It's not because of the flash synch speed. I was setting to no faster than 1/125; and the camera was changing the setting to between 1/13 and 1/60. This was a low light situation (an indoor dance party), and I was dragging the shutter as much as I could without getting too much motion blur. I failed to mention, however, I have the Canon BG-E9 Battery Grip on this camera. I'm not used to a battery grip camera. It just occurred to me to wonder if I was inadvertently turning the control wheel on it with my pinkie finger. That would change the shutter speed. Is there a way to disable that wheel? I use a Polaroid grip on my 60D. It has an ON/OFF switch that completely disables the grip's buttons. I don't know if the Canon grip has that. I can still use my camera with the grip turned off.
