Using Flash
Selecting the flash timing (Slow Synchro)
When you use a slow shutter speed, Slow Synchro flash mode allows you to
fire the flash either just after the shutter opens or just before it closes,
whichever gives the desired effect. This is especially useful for scenic shots
taken at night.
The " 1" setting fires the flash just as
the shutter opens. If you use this setting to
photograph a moving car, the final shot will
show the headlights moving ahead of the car
in the direction the car is moving (1st-curtain
effect).
The " 2" setting fires the flash just
before the shutter closes. If you use this
setting to photograph a moving car, the
final shot will show the tail lights streaming
away behind the car (2nd-curtain effect).
