You would only have manual functionality as the TTL systems are different.

Does it support high speed sync on camera for ...

Does it support high speed sync on camera for four thirds? The description states: "High speed synchronization (*1) (Four Thirds) FP High- Speed Sync FP High-Speed Sync setting in A, M, TTL mode and wireless mode are controlled by master unit. Please check your camera instruction manual. (*1):Only applicable to wireless Slave mode. Group A - C (any channel 1 - 4)" So, only external wireless? Not on camera?
Asked by: German
The i400 does support High Speed Sync. on those cameras which allow it. FP sync is a term used for HSS by Nikon and Fujifilm Camera bodies. To activate the HSS on the FT version of the i400, simply press and hold the green pilot ligh button for a few seconds. The mode light will begin to blink. This indicates that the flash is in high speed sync. mode. There is some mis-information here as the i400 DOES NOT have any optical slaves or groups A-C. These features can be found on the Nissin i40 flash. The i400 is for on camera use only and has an "A" mode, a "TTL" mode and a "manual" mode only. I hope this answers your questions
