2nd curtain (rear curtain) #SLOW2

With 2nd curtain, the flash fires just before the shutter closes. Changing the

flash timing can create interesting effects in your picture, such as expressing

the movement of a car by showing the tail-lights streaming backwards. The

slower the shutter speed, the better the effects turn out.

The slowest possible shutter speed depends on the shooting mode:

M mode : 16 sec.

P, A, S, m mode : 4 sec.

1st curtain with red-eye reduction HSLOW1

This mode is for when you want to use slow synchronization, yet also reduce

the red-eye phenomenon. For instance, when shooting a person against a

brightly lit night background. A normal flash might make the person’s eyes

red, but 1st curtain with red-eye reduction lets you capture the background

correctly and reduce the red-eye phenomenon at the same time. 2nd curtain

with red-eye reduction is not available.
