Help with 580EX II settings (photos included)

[alexander_c1]

<p>Hello all.</p>

<p>This is driving me crazy and I can't figure out a setting to make this work.</p>

<p>This is what I am shooting with: 5DMII, 580EX II, PocketWizard Plus II Transceiver.</p>

<p>The first photo was shot:<br>

Manual<br /> Shutter: 320<br /> Aperture: 4.0<br /> ISO: 250<br /> <br /> Flash: manual (no custom settings just set to manual)</p>

<p>Second photo:<br>

Manual<br /> Shutter: 200<br /> Aperture: 4.0<br /> ISO: 250<br /> <br /> Flash: manual (no custom settings just set to manual)</p>

<p>Is there a setting on the flash or camera that will allow me to shoot in high shutter speeds and not having that black bar at the bottom appear? I know it has something to do with curtain etc and I'm being lazy this Saturday afternoon. I have my photo books down in the basement hehehehe don't want to make the trip down.</p>

<p>Thanks all in advance for your feedback.</p>

<p>HSS (also known as High Speed Sync)</p>

<p>You can't do that with those Picket Wizards. You are taking a picture of your shutter. HSS would work if you had the TT Flex system but with the Plus II you are limited to regular max sync, 1/200.</p>

<p>Oops, didn't notice you were using the PWs. Scott is correct.</p>

[jason_hall5]

<p>Yep, High Speed Sync only works when you have TTL communication with the flash. You need the <a href="http://www.pocketwizard.com/products/transmitter_receiver/36/TT1-C/">Poketwizard Flex or a Mini.</a></p>

<p>Thanks gents! 1/200 is ok for what I will be using them for. If I need faster I will look into the Flex system.</p>
