shutter speed referred to as the flash sync speed. This restric-

tion does not apply to cameras designed for high-speed sync

(HSS) photography, since they allow flash photography at the

maximum shutter speed of the camera. Sync speeds and

high-speed sync for each camera are as follows.

• Maxxum/Dynax 9:

1/300 sec, high-speed sync photography possible

• Maxxum/Dynax 7, 800si, 700si, 600si:

1/200 sec, high-speed sync photography possible
