FLASH SYNC MODE SELECTOR—

(IIIIIIL)^ )

The SB-24 offers two types of flash synchronization, REAR and

NORMAL.
NORMAL synchronization, the way virtually all other systems

operate, fires the flash at the beginning of the exposure.

REAR synchronization, available with the Nikon F4 or F-801/
N8008, fires the flash at the end of the exposure.

For short exposure (speeds up to 1/250 second) you can barely

tell the difference befween the two methods. For longer expo

sures, however, when subject movement during the exposure
becomes evident, you can clearly see the difference.

Rear synchronization tends to give a more natural effect,

making the blur of subject movement appear to emanate from

the back for a more comfortable visual effect.
