Off-Camera RF60 HSS with V6II

in RF60 Questions
I'm trying to use the RF60 high speed sync capability off-camera with a V6II transceiver.  All firmware is up to date.

When off-camera, the RF60 needs to be in Slave mode, but when it's in Slave, it won't switch to HSS with the Multi/HSS button (just goes between Multi and my group alias).  How do I make this work?  

I'm shooting with a Nikon D300.  V6II is set to Camera System: Auto (Nikon), Flash System: Auto, and Sync Mode: Normal HSS.

Thanks.

    Hello,

    Please make sure the camera is mechanical shutter, Using electrical shutter or liveview is not suitable for FP / HSS. 

    In addition, it looks like the D300 has to enable to FP first. I found the instruction from Google, 

    "The Nikon D300s and Nikon D700 have a custom setting to enable high-speed flash sync – custom fucntion e1. "

    I hope that helps. 

    Cheers!

    You don't need to set HSS mode manually. The RF60 is set to "Auto HSS" per default, hence you cannot even select HSS mode manually.

    It's working now, although I'm not completely sure what fixed it--thanks.
