Hello every one
Just bought my first speed light and was searching for flash speed sync for my camera.
Saw an article explaining about extending flash speed sync up to 1/400 on a7 iv but can't find the related settings.
Does a7 iv support x-sync?
And if it does where to find the settings?
My current firmware version is 1.1, should I upgrade it?
 
The flash sync speed on the A7IV is 1/250. Anything faster requires HSS.

The only Sony I know that can do 1/400 sync is the A1 in mechanical shutter (1/200 with electronic shutter, and it’s the only Sony which can shoot flash with electronic shutter).

All my flash shooting is using studio strobes, so I use Manual mode, shutter on sync speed, aperture typically f/8.

With a speed light in the hot shoe, I imagine you’ll be wanting to shoot TTL - you’ll want the speed light documentation for that.
