Using the Flash
10
Trailing Curtain Sync discharges the flash immediately before the shutter
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 light behind it.
Relationships among the guide number, aperture and distance must be
considered when shooting with the flash to obtain a correct exposure.
Calculate and adjust the shooting conditions if the flash output is not sufficient.
Using the Trailing Curtain Sync
Trailing Curtain Sync slows down the shutter speed. Use the Shake Reduction
function, or turn off the Shake Reduction function and use a tripod to avoid
camera shake.
