Discover why the Alpha 9 III represents a major step forward for flash photography.
In this technical session, Martin Krolop explains how the Alpha 9 III's global shutter overcomes the limitations of conventional shutter systems. Starting with the fundamentals of flash sync and X-sync speed, he demonstrates why photographers lose flash efficiency when using high shutter speeds and traditional HSS techniques.
You'll learn how a global shutter exposes the entire sensor simultaneously, allowing flash energy to be used more effectively than with conventional shutter designs. Martin also explores the relationship between flash duration, exposure timing, and flash output, showing why capturing the peak of the flash curve is the key to achieving brighter and more efficient flash photography.
Through practical demonstrations and real-world comparisons, the course examines the differences between global shutter technology, HSS, TTL flash, and ND filters. By the end of the session, you will understand how the Alpha 9 III enables flash sync at virtually any shutter speed and opens new creative possibilities for balancing flash and ambient light.
