Standard (X-)Flash Synchronization
Technology - Technology
In std. flash sync. mode the flash fires as soon as the whole film frame is fully exposed to the incoming light (see picture below).
X-Synchronization A camera's flash synchronization mode that accommodates a flash that has an instantaneous peak light output. XGA XGA (EXtended Graphics Array) is a screen resolution of 1024x768 pixels.
Slow Synchronization
Photography technique where the shutter speed is set to a slower speed and the shutter is kept open for a while after the flash has gone off.
Flash Synchronization
Flash Synchronization is the automatic process in which the camera's shutter speed is synchronized with the camera's flash, ...
Flash synchronization :
Timing of the flash coincides with release of the camera's shutter.
Flash Synchronization: The adjustment and timing of camera and flash so that the flash fires when the camera shutter is open. Most 35mm SLR cameras synchronize with electronic flash at shutter speeds of 1/60th or slower.
FLASH SYNCHRONIZATION - Timing the triggering of the flash so that it fires only when the shutter is completely open, thereby ensuring complete exposure of the entire film frame.
Sync, Synchronization
Having things happen at precisely the same time: your Electronic Flash and Shutter, or a desirable job and available time.
Sync Voltage
The camera flash contact voltage at the time it is fired.
-Flash synchronization - method of synchronizing flash light duration with maximum shutter opening. There are usually two settings on a camera, X and M. X is the setting used for electronic flash.
Synchronization: the flash firing must syncronise with the shutter being open. Most cameras allow a maximum setting of 1/250th of a second

Sync (or synchronization cord). an electrical wire that links a flash unit to a camera' shutter release mechanism.
Synchronize. To cause a flash unit to fire while the camera shutter is open.
(synchronization)
Method of making a flash light fire at the correct moment, exactly when the shutter is fully open. Normally a camera's flash sync. speed is quoted as the highest speed that a given camera can synchronize with a flash unit (e.g.
flash may be all over before the shutter gets open. To fire electronic flash with a focal-plane shutter, the switch in the camera is closed at the instant the first curtain of the focal-plane shutter reaches fully open-called X synchronization.
At this speed the shutter and flash unit are said to be in synchronization. When the flash and shutter are synchronized, the shutter opening is wide open at the same instant the flash fires.
The synchronization signal for these are sent from the screen using white light and not from a separate transmitter. European Format A stereo format which uses stereo pairs of 7 perforations (film sprockets) per image.
Ikelite has a couple of unique ways to handle the strobe synchronization issue with the Coolpix 5000.
An optional kind of electronic flash synchronization technique, originally associated with focal plane shutters, which consists of a traveling set of curtains, ...
Speed is limited by signals having to stay in synchronization across the chip. Differential propagation delays mess us up. Yes, the tiny distances on a chip are very important when dealing with the speeds we do.
NokSync: Thunderbird/Nokia Synchronization
NokSync synchronizes contacts between Thunderbird and your Nokia phone.
The cable that attaches to the PC terminal is called a sync cord (for synchronization and pronounced "sink") or PC cord. When you take a picture, a signal is sent from the camera along the cable to fire the studio flash.
To make faster shutter speeds and higher flash synchronization speeds possible, ...
X sync causes the Xenon electronic flash to burst in synchronization with the full opening of the shutter. For some manual cameras, the X sync speed refers to the maximum speed that the camera can synchronize with the flash.[1]
M Sync Edit ...
Is the setting that causes the flash to burst in synchronization with the shutter. For some manual cameras, the X synch speed refers to the maximum speed that the camera can synchronize with the flash.

One of the slight grievances I have with the Google Picasa program is that sometimes the synchronization to the web album falls apart. You see, the changes you make in the client program on your PC should synch to the web, and vice-versa.
The Diana F features a built-in flash, whose synchronization often does not work properly. It is easy to make multiple exposures with the Diana; the shutter on most Diana's can be fired as many times as wanted.
I preset both cameras to ISO 500 and use the flashes on setting ETTL HHS (high speed synchronization). Most all menu settings are on Factory Defaults except custom "Second Curtain Flash" and "Enable HI & Low ISO" are selected.
This ensures proper synchronization between the light of the flash and the opening of the shutter. If your camera offers adjustable shutter speed (as with an SLR), the value is usually marked in red.
In the 7 pages of settings within the Rec menu you will find the usual shooting options, such as ISO and white balance, but go a little further and here is where you get to the 'nuts and bolts' - image stabilization options, flash synchronization ...
monitor calibration
a process used to adjust monitor color specifications, saturation, and brightness into synchronization with the final output device.

AES/EBU (AES3): Dual-channel digital interface capable of supporting 24-bit data transfers at variable sample frequencies; uses three-pin XLR or BNC connectors; self-synchronization feature eliminates the need for a separate word-clock connection.
This synchronization works smoothly at fast shutter speeds, but at slower speeds, such as 1/20th second, the moment the flash fires is critical to the position of a moving object relative to the blur it creates.
Maximum flash synchronization speed is determined by the moment the shutter curtains are completely open. This would typically be 1/125 or 1/60.
Technical innovation in signal processing made it possible to achieve precise synchronization between laser emission, THz light pulses, scan laser pulses and CCD camera image acquisition, making the THZ real-time imaging a reality.
