anyone knows a suggested shutter speed to get accurate readings?

Set your camera to It's max sync speed - 1/200th or 1/250th depending on your make and model.

Use the suggested synch speed for your camera. On my D7000 I find 1/125 works best. On my D7100 I find 1/250 works best

It depends. Common wisdom is that for hand-held on a lens like this you should be shooting 1/250 a second or faster on a full frame camera (Like a 5D) or 1/500 or faster on a crop sensor camera (like a rebel). If you are shooting outdoors than that is realistic, but indoors or nights it is not realistic on the crop sensor cameras unless you bump up the ISO unrealistically high.Shooting indoors or low light you will benefit from a tripod or a flash.

Hi,Please make sure that you keep your shutter speed at around 150/s. Beyond that the remote might not be able to synch up.

I'd be curious to know as well. The 720SW had a fairly slow shutter, and one had to really concentrate to get a non-blurry photo. Unless, you enabled the stabilization, and then the photo got a little grainy... Anybody have feedback on that?

I shoot at ISO 100, f22 and 200 shutter speed with an 85mm macro lens. There is a pretty wide range of flash intensity with this flash if you use TTL metering. You may want to use an f-stop on the higher side, at lleast 12 or higher, for some depth of field. It won't be very deep with the extension tubes.

You can set the synch speed at 1/125 and you should be fine. Also check your curtain on the camera. Sometimes people have the curtain set to the beginning of the flash and some at the end. Experiment tithe that if the 1/125 is problematic. A fast shutter isn't really necessary.

Use the aperture priority mode and set +/- exp. to +2. Depending on the light level, try to use the lowest ISO possible. 400+ is likely to be grainy. If you can get away with it, 80-200 looks great in most situations. In a restaraunt, you may be better off using the flash -- perhaps on a lower setting.

No, the shutter speed is way too slow. I attempted to take photos at an adult birthday party and although most people were sitting down just talking to each other, I still had a bunch of blurred photos. Get a small Pansonic (fx 15 or 20) instead. Panasonics take fast pictures and are not that expensive!

you can adjust it on the menu based on what you need, 120,240, 480, and1000 frame per s. the faster you got the lower resolution of film you had. i usually use 120 and 240 frame per second to capture running. and it s pretty

Brian made some good points. I own an S-120, and its ISO range is from 80 to 12,800 (S-90 was 3200, as I recall). Also, in Manual mode only, the S-120 has a maximum shutter speed of 250 seconds. In other modes it's 15 seconds. Fastest shutter speed is 2,500 in all modes, I believe.

Also note that any camera will slow down the "time between shots" if you use flash and maximum resolution and HD. But 5-10 seconds is absurd. Let us know if the extra firmware update improves this.

I have not found any delay. However, I'm just an amateur when it comes to taking pics, so I'm not sure how important it is for you to know the length of the shutter lag.

Are you shooting full auto or using the creative zone? You can control your exposure time in the Tv & M settings the simplest way is to utilize the back touch screen use the Q button to access touch control select the shutter speed its the top left corner if the number has a " those are full seconds if its a fraction well thats a fraction of a second generally with a camera this heavy I wouldn't use slower than 1/160 without a tripod. If you are using other settings try adjusting your aperture (F stop) & ISO they are the other 2 legs of your exposure triangle. You my want to check out some books about your camera "Canon 4TI /650D Experience" by Douglas J. Klostermann is a good start! Keep learning & explore your new camera!

Sometimes one wants to use a slow shutter speed, for example, to blur moving water or even "erase" moving objects. Besides on-camera options such as low ISO and stopping down (which will increase depth-of-field -- something you may not want) one can use a Neutral Density filter to allow a longer exposure time. Always use a tripod for long exposures, and a remote shutter release is a good idea, too.

Are you talking about how short an exposure you can get or how quick between pictures. I haven't been limited by shutter speed in high or low light situations, but if you are trying to take actions pictures the time between frames probably isn't what you are looking for.

I agree with the other answers. Make sure flash is turned off! Use a small tripod to hold the camera steady and try to lengthen the exposure time in "Manual" mode. Try other setting other then automatic mode. Vary exposure times and ISO speeds. Experiment until you get what you want then write all your settings down.
