    No, you have to enable HSS on the flash directly (with two button presses). After that, you can fire the RF60 in HSS mode using a V6.

    Why is it that I have the HSS enabled on the RF60, and Optical Slave disabled, but when I shoot at 350 shutter speed (a stop above my camera's maximum 250 flash sync speed), using the V6 - there is a black band at the bottom? 

    I thought that you can fire the RF60 in HSS mode using the V6.
    I use a Nikon d750.

    As you see Class A's above reply, the answer is a no unfortunately.

    The "HSS" mode on the RF60 uses optical slave and you need a TTL flash
    to send out a pre-flash signal.  We call this "HSS Sympathy Mode".

    V6 on its own cannot trigger an RF60 and correctly sync above x-sync speed.

    The black band is aka banding issue and it happens when flash was fired above camera's maximum x-sync speed.

    FYR, here's another discussion on HSS with RF60:

    TTL or HSS not working on Cactus V6 II and V6 IIs? Be sure to check hot shoe connectivity by doing the <CAMERA INFO> check.
