How to get Sync speed above 200?

The higher shutter speed also cuts down the amount of ambient light allowed in.

got it, but the flash exposure will stay the same right?


and if I drop the ambient in that manner I can drop the flash and the aperture 1 more stop to achieve more blur


Ps. very nice site

Here's a visual way to think of shutter duration and flash duration:

Take two tape measures. One tape measure represents the shutter duration (speed). The long you've pulled out the tape the longer the shutter duration. The other tape measure represents the flash duration. If you have your flash output set to 1/1 then the tape is longer than if you set the flash duration to 1/8.

Now lay the two tape measures out side-by-side. The flash tape measure can be completely within the length of the shutter tape measure (they are in "sync"). Or they can have no overlap whatsoever. Or they can have partial overlap. Or one more option.

You can now imagine with these tape measures all your different options and the hardware needed to get those options.
