High speed sync is the one flash feature I\u2019ve been missing since swapping to Olympus from Canon a few years back. Yes I could work around it with ND filters or shooting at either end of the day but neither worked as conveniently as high speed sync.<\/p>\n

Also known as FP flash or just HSS, flash manufacturers have been slowly catching up and now there are a couple of brands supporting Olympus, Panasonic and Fuji. The first I came across was Profoto but sadly they\u2019re way beyond my budget. Then Godox introduced the TT350o which works like a charm.<\/p>\n

As you can see in the video above, HSS allows the camera to shoot at shutter speeds far beyond the tradition flash sync speed of around 1\/250th<\/sup> sec. The upshot of reducing the exposure time is that you either reduce the ambient light contamination (perfect when shooting inside with large apertures) or if you want to record the ambient and flash together, you can shoot with wider apertures for less depth of field.<\/p>\n

The Godox TT350o flash\/trigger that I used here is branded as the Adorama Zoom Mini o<\/a><\/strong> (O for Olympus\u2026 and Panasonic) there\u2019s also a f version as well as a C, N and S version.<\/p>\n

Since then Godox have launched the X1T-o also known as the Adorama Flashpoint R2-o<\/strong> <\/a>in the USA or the Pixapro ST-iii T in the UK<\/p>\n
