Normally, the camera's shutter speed
is automatically set
to 1/90 sec. for flash photography. However, for shooting
nighttime scenes, Slow Sync uses a slower shutter speed
(down to maximum of 30 sec., 1 sec.
in I!! Night Scene
mode) to bring out background details using all of the available light.

~: Rear-Curtam Sync
Rear-Curtain Sync can be used in Auto-Multi Program,
Shutter-Priority Auto, Aperture-Priority Auto or Manual
exposure mode. Normally, the Speedlight fires at the end
of the exposure, turning available light into a stream of
light that follows the flash-illuminated moving subject.
When Rear-Curtain Sync
is set in Auto-Multi Program or
Aperture-Priority Auto exposure mode, Slow Sync
is
automatically set. (With an optional Speed light S8-26, 25 and 24 , set the
Speed light's sync mode selector to
