Second-Curtain Synchronization with EOS ELAN HE and Speedlite 220EX
The EOS ELAN ME features a
Custom Function to set second-
curtain synchronization with the
Speedlite 220EX. You can fire the
flash right before the exposure
ends (when the second shutter
curtain closes).* Normally, first-
curtain synchronization is set so
that the flash is fired at the start of
the exposure (when the first shut­
ter curtain opens). With second-
curtain synchronization and a slow
shutter speed, you can capture a
moving subject sharply and leave
a blurred streak behind the sub­
ject. This is more natural than
when first-curtain synchronization
is used,
*To set the camera Custom
Function, refer to the Instructions
of your camera.

synchronization.
• Second-curtain synchronization is not applicable when the camera is
L-ll set to Full Auto (O) mode or a Programmed Image Control mode.
• Set the camera to Tv, Av, or M mode and use a slow shutter speed to
obtain interesting second-curtain synchronization effects.
• Second-curtain synchronization is easier when the sync speed is set to buLb.
• Second-curtain synchronization is applicable only with EOS ELAN HE
and the Speedlite 220EX.
F]« Using the Speedlite 220EX with other Cameras

autoflash control system), full flash output in the manual setting only is applicable.
