G7x Mark ii Sync Speed

Hi all. 

I am new to posting here. I do not usually shoot with a compact camera so please bear with me.

What is the sync speed of the Canon G7x ii? I am using Optic cables to trigger the strobes and was wondering was is the limit on the shutter speed. Thanks

Hi Bryan

Looks like it is 1/2000. See here:

They use leaf shutters so they sync as fast as the camera can shoot generally.  However it's not a free lunch as many underwater strobes will have flash durations in 1/250 - 1/500 range at full power, flashes with circulahr tubes can have a longer flash duration.  At shutter speeds above the flash duration you start eating into your flash power.  It does help that the G7X does not need to stop down very far (f5.6 is equivalent to f15 in full frame for depth of field) so may not need full power in many circumstances.  But at 1/2000 you are at the equivalent of 1/8 power at a maximum if your flash has a 4 ms pulse at full power (1/250 = 4 ms)

Thanks
