sinc speed for canon 10D?

what is the sync speed for the canon 10D? i get some strange shadow on the side of my shots.

thanks,

The max sync speed on the 10D is 1/200s. If you're shooting at a faster shutter speed than this, you'll get a shadow on your shots...

Actually, my 10D does 1/1250s without any shadow. The shadow starts become visible at the bottom of the picture (thick black line) and grows into the frame with smaller shutter speeds. So if you have shot in portrait orientation with a shutter speed smaller than 1/250s - it is the curtain. If you have shot in landscape orientation, the curtain starts moving into the picture from the buttom, not from right or left hand side.
