I understand to shoot faster then 1/200 I need to set the camera to a

manual tv, or m. But how do I exactly set the 550ex to "FP" so it won't

keep droping my D60 back down to 1/200,(after setting a higher speed)?

You can't.

 

The only way to shoot faster then 1/200 with a d60 is to disconnect the flash from the hot shoe, set it manually, and use the PC terminal to trigger it. The camera is limited to a max 1/200 speed when it detects the flash. The 1D can go up to 1/500.

 

The camera will drop down to 1/200 in any setting when it detects the speedlight.

 

That is my understanding. (and my experience with a D30)

 

If I am wrong, please let me know!
