About this download
Benefits and Improvements
- Adds support for Global Shutter Sync photography in all shutter areas: By using an HVL-F60RM2 flash with a camera equipped with a global shutter image sensor, flash photography can be synchronized with the entire range of shutter speeds available on the camera and enable more effective flash exposures than conventional High-Speed Sync photography (HSS).
- Adds Flash charge Priority setting: When CHG PRIORITY is set to STABLE on the MENU screen, although the charging time is longer compared to when it is set to NORMAL, it allows for more stable firing.
Note: For details on all updated functions refer to the Help Guide.
