Sigma EF-530, High Speed Sync capable?

excanonfd · 01-24-2012, 03:47 PM

I am interested in purchasing the Sigma EF-530 flash and I cannot seem to confirm with certainty whether this flash is HSS capable with Pentax DSLRs. Even the seller could not confirm it for me. If any owners of this flash could confirm whether it's HSS capable or not and with which DSLR, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Yes, it does. See this related thread:

There are two variations that share the same model name/number? Thanks for the clarification.

There is the 530 ST DG, which has: PTTL, Manual full, manual 1/16. Then there is the 530 Super DG, which has all the above, plus wireless slave, high-speed sync, more manual levels, manual zoom positions, and a few other items. Physically they are the same except for the back controls.
