What is 'Flash sync' Hi! Could someone please tell me what is meant by 'flash sync'? I have an Olympus OM-10 (which is not TTL) and a Vivitar 4600. What settings should I use for night photography? Does the 4600 support the use of custom settings without TTL? If yes, how? I use mainly B&W film and would like a flash for 1/2000 - 1/4000 for night photography at 'B' settings. How do I achieve that? Thanks in advance. Vipul

Flash sync stands for flash syncronization. It's a term used to describe flash release relative to shutter position and speed. In dark photography, the flash speed IS the shutter speed. Using "Bulb" requires you to delay or release the flash manually on your camera. I am assuming you are wanting multiple exposures on one frame that will freeze action. Otherwise yur question makes no sense.

Dear Michael, Thanx for the prompt reply. Maybe my question, like you said, does not make sense. You see, I know the defination, which you have explained so well, but how to use it. What I mean is that in most cameras there is a lead coming from the flash which goes in a socket in the lens (and hence to the shutter) but the OM-10 does not seem to have that, and neither does my flash (Vivitar 4600).
