Larry, the light is usually very harsh around here. The overcast conditions

Bob, this should answer your question. Fly was only a problem in the Lowveld

for ploughing. This led to

Jack, the blip of light from a 540 at 1/64th power should easily
freeze hummer wings, But I suspect you had enough ambient light to
compete with your flash. You need to cut out the ambient so the flash
is the sole source of illumination if you want to use the flash to
freeze action.

Yes, any shutter speed, above the native 180 per second with this
unit, requires the setting of the
available "High Speed Sink" feature.
I agree, Jostein that it would seem
logical to expect the wing movement
to be somewhat slower in making an
abrupt turn.
