mode
In “NORMAL” flash synchronization, the flash fires at an early
stage of exposure (front-curtain sync), resulting in unnatural
light patterns at slow shutter speeds with a moving subject.
With Nikon Speedlights SB-26 and SB-25, Rear-Curtain Sync is
possible, where the flash is set to fire the instant before the
rear-curtain begins to close. This transforms available light into
a stream of light that follows the moving, flash-illuminated
subject.
—Use a tripod to minimize camera shake.
