Clue: the flash has no idea what camera it is connected to, and
there are EOS in the line with a top sync speed of 1/125th. That's
no bug... it's a feature. =) If you don't want FP sync at 1/200th on
a 5D it's your responsibility to turn it off.
The camera and flash communicate. This is not a 'dumb' flash with no
options; it is a flash which knows what the focal length of the lens
is, and it knows what the flash sync speed is, and the camera is also
a rather sophisticated one that communicates a lot of information to
the flash. That, after all, is what all those other contacts are for.
As I said before, Gerard is right. This is a bug.
