How come the shutter speed does not go faster (1/200+) when an external flash is on ?
[Camera: Nikon D80. External Flash: SB-800]
I normally use the external flash for indoor usage, but I would like to use it for outdoor to shoot models when the lighting on models is not enough. As to my experience in photography, I only started from last November, so I am not completely familier with all the functions on camera. Then, I tried to adjust the shutter speed fast (1/600 - 1/2000) like I always do outdoor, and I realized that the camera does not allow the shutter speed to go higher than 1/200 with my external flash on. With this setup the image comes out completely white while the f/# is small (f/3.5). I know that I can increse the f/#, but that way the blur image on the background is vanished, so the model does not stand out. Do you know any solution while I still use the external flash outdoor ? Thanks in advance.
You have to activate auto FP high sync speed in the camera to go above the 1/200
