HyperSync
ControlTL™ enables some previously impossible camera capabilities including HyperSync™. HyperSync allows photographers to achieve faster X-sync speeds, all the way up to 1/8000 second*, with full power flash. Now you can cut the ambient light and use wide-open apertures, outdoors in bright sunlight. That extra speed can also freeze action, whether shooting models or athletes in motion.
HyperSync works with both TTL speedlites and full size studio flash. All you need is a MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 on camera that has been tuned to your specific camera via the PocketWizard Utility. While performance varies by the camera and flash equipment being used, HyperSync will get the maximum possible out of any set-up.
Check out Mark Wallace's vdeo to help understand the basic concept and read how to set-up your camera and flash for HyperSync here.
* Every camera/flash system performance will be different. Flash with longer duration bursts matched with cameras with fast shutter systems will provide the best results. FP/HSS Mode must be disengaged via the PocketWizard Utility.
