All assuming that you are using the maximum synchronisation speed.


Not sure that comes to play (and you mean minimum, no?). It's far longer that the discharge time, so why would it matter? As it's not fixed across cameras, I would expect the flashes to have provisos or sth (or a calculator parameter).

I meant what I said 8-)

The in-flash quench is done on the amount of light falling on the sensor. This will give a certain exposure at a certain combination of ISO, aperture and shutter speed. Generally, the shutter speed is the fastest which will give a whole frame exposure without banding. This is generally regarded as the synchronisation speed but slower speeds will work. Once you start using slower speeds, the ratio between flash-lit parts of the picture and natural-light-lit parts will start to change.
