Second-Curtain Synchronization
The EOS 30/ELAN 7E has a Custom Function enabling 2nd-curtain
synchronization.
Normally. Ist-curtaln synchronization is set so that the flash is fired when
the shutter curtains fully open. With 2nd-curtain synchronization, the flash
is fired right before the shutter curtains close. When this is combined with a

subject. This looks more natural.
• To set the camera's Custom Function, refer to the camera's Instructions.
