• You can use Rear-Curtain Sync in either non-TTL auto or
manual flash mode. For non-TTL auto or manual flash
mode, see your Speedlight manual. Note that in either
flash mode, you must use Aperture-Priority Auto or
Manual exposure mode.
• Rear-Curtain Sync cannot be used with a studio flash
system since the correct synchronization cannot be
attained. See pages 4 and 126.

For a Speedlight other than the SB-26, SB-25 or SB-24:
While pressing the camera’s ± button, rotate Main-
Command Dial until ‹ appears in the rear LCD panel.
For SB-26, SB-25 or SB-24 users: Set the Speedlight’s sync
mode selector to REAR position. In Programmed Auto or
Aperture-Priority Auto exposure mode, Slow Sync is simultane-
ously set and ⁄ appears in the rear LCD panel. (See your
Speedlight’s instruction manual.) The Rear-Curtain Sync setting
on the camera is ignored.
Next, follow steps 2-6 for TTL Auto Flash Operation, on page

tripod to prevent camera shake.
