Your all wrong. With some cameras when you turn on the flash the shutter automatically goes to 1/60 or 1/125 regardless of where you have it set. If that's not the case here, then in all dslr's the synchronization between the shutter and the flash unit is such that you get a quick open shutter, flash goes off, rear shutter blade moves. To get both blur and flash stop action in an image you have to set the flash / shutter to "rear sync". Then the front blade opens, exposes of course for the time you have set, then just before the rear blade moves the flash goes off. The strobe is synced to the rear blade instead of the front one. With a strobe that can do multiple timed flashes you can get a pretty cool shot with rear sync.
