Talk:Flash synchronization/Archive 1

Merge proposal

I've proposed a merge from X-sync, and also suggest from any other flash sync articles if they exist, like M-sync.

Please support or oppose below, with reasons:

  • Support, of course, since it's my idea. These articles are too short, and X-sync is only understandable in relation to the more general concept. Dicklyon 16:23, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Hearing no objection, I did the merge. Dicklyon 15:36, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Reason for Removal

I feel that that image, doesn't illustrate at all 2nd curtain sync, Sure it may have been taken WITH 2nd curtain sync, but the image does nothing to impart any information on how it works.

You can argue, "But it illustrates what results can be made with 2nd curtain sync" unfortunately, in this case it does not look any different from a 1st curtain sync flash photograph. --122.104.47.1 (talk) 19:45, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

High-speed sync query

Is it really true that High speed sync is very rare today?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.235.16.21 (talkcontribs) 09:39, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't understand the question. What do you mean by high speed sync? What does someone say it is rare? Dicklyon 15:36, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
I have no idea and the user is by IP long ago. Some bodies and flashes have "high-speed" modes and today, most dslr's for example, sync at least at 1/125, most typically at 1/250 and some like D40 and D70 mentioned do 1/500. On a related note, there's also nothing about electronic shutters and their effect on flash sync speed nor how the duration of flash pulse relates to very short shutter speeds. 85.23.56.250 (talk) 18:53, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Asking for more clarification

From the article I still don't know how the synchronization works. What goes first what goes second (the opening of the diafragm or the firing of the flash), what third and what fourt (the closing of the difragm or the finishing of the flash)? Is it good a low sync speed or a hihg sync speed? Why? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hugozam (talkcontribs) 01:40, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
