What they're actually doing is firing a bunch of smaller flash bursts as the shutter doors reveal new areas of the sensor (since the entire is never visible at once).<br /><br />It doesn't work very well for off-camera flashes, and you need to be using 1st-party hardware for everything to work.Matthew Wegnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13908926028331449979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953284345642259040.post-63067354002555942322010-10-12T08:23:03.744-07:002010-10-12T08:23:03.744-07:00finally, an explanation that makes sense!finally, an explanation that makes sense!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953284345642259040.post-56267422755774267532008-06-08T05:24:00.000-07:002008-06-08T05:24:00.000-07:00Actually only a few do the combination thing. The...Actually only a few do the combination thing. The reason that 1/4000 can be done, is that traveling slit principle. There is a tiny slit of light sliding across at such a speed that each photosite is only showing through the slit for 1/4000 of a second. It would indeed be expensive to make a shutter than can move the door across the sensor at 1/4000 of a second.<BR/><BR/>Only point/shoots and some older Nikon dslrs use combo mechanical/electronic, as far as I understand it.mr_chompershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10873634675609716382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953284345642259040.post-85013251721539249492008-06-07T18:28:00.000-07:002008-06-07T18:28:00.000-07:00I believe, not 100% sure that most DSLR's have a c...I believe, not 100% sure that most DSLR's have a combination of mechanical and electric shutters as making a shutter that can do 1/4000 is very expensive and more prone to breaking. I think most DSLR's max mechanical shutter speed is around 1/250 and after that the shutter speed is electronically shortened which can sometimes allow you to go above 1/250 sync speed.Brynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14946312584135468136noreply@blogger.com
