Generation

# Flash Sync Speed **Flash sync speed** is the fastest shutter speed at which the camera's entire sensor is exposed simultaneously, typically **1/200th to 1/250th of a second** (varies by camera model). ## Why It Matters It matters because faster shutter speeds use a rolling curtain that creates a moving slit across the sensor—if you fire a flash above sync speed, only part of the frame will be illuminated, creating a dark band across your image. Staying at or below sync speed ensures the flash illuminates the entire frame evenly.
