![]() ![]() ![]() The Awesomeness of Olympus M.Zuiko 75mm F1.A blog post on high shutter speed flash sync with the XZ-2 might be worth a thought maybe? Thanks in advance should you help me out here. It would be great to have fast shutter speeds for flash sync in remote mode as I could still use my VF-2 viewfinder at the same time then. Robin, I know you have an Olympus external flash around, can you maybe check what the highest sync speed in remote controlled mode is (manual says 1/160s)? Also, does an external flash popped into the hot shoe sync up to 1/2000s like the pop-up flash? We've been shooting a range of subjects in a variety of lighting conditions, using various apertures and processing settings on the XZ-2. (The remote control mode on the XZ-2 does not allow FP mode anyway.) The XZ-2 builds on the features of one of our favorite compact cameras - the Olympus XZ-1 - adding an improved 12MP CMOS sensor, flip-out touch-screen and innovative dual-mode lens control ring. High flash sync speed with no dependency on FP (high speed sync) could be a real benefit for using the XZ-2 with an external flash. I guess it's due to the XZ-2 having an electronic shutter, allowing it to sync the flash at any shutter speed. When I just use the intern flash, I can expose for 1/2000s at ISO 200 easily and the exposure comes out alright with no parts of the image blacked out at the top or bottom. Is that right? Have you tried this with an external flash in remote control mode? The manual on the XZ-2 says that the fastest shutter speed with a remote controlled, external flash is 1/160s. I never really invested the time into understanding and mastering flash, but recently discovered why I didn't like the results with flash in many cases: the shutter speeds are too slow. I've always been an available light photographer, not highly interested in flash photography. I agree that it's a great camera when there's a enough available light for up to ISO 400. The XZ Series, with its i.Zuiko Digital lens for outstanding imaging power, represents a. I also still have my XZ-2, however it gets used rarely now as I mostly lug around my E-M1 or Pen-F. The STYLUS XZ-2, a lavish, high-performance compact digital camera. ![]()
