Using the Flash
5
Trailing curtain sync discharges the flash immediately before the shutter
curtain closes. When shooting moving objects with a slow shutter speed,
Trailing curtain sync and Slow-speed sync produce different effects
depending on when the flash is discharged.
For example, when shooting a moving car with Trailing curtain sync,
trailing light is captured while the shutter is open and the flash captures the
car immediately before the shutter is closed. Therefore, the picture will
include a sharp, well-lit car with trailing lights behind it.

Using Trailing Curtain Sync
