5. Second-Curtain Sync Flash Photography

With focal plane shutters, flash synchroniza
tion is made when the first curtain is fully
open. With the Speedlite 300EZ, it is also

possible to make the flash synchronization

just before the second curtain starts run

ning. This is called “second-curtain sync”
and is best when a slower shutter speed is
used. (The shutter-priority AE mode is

recommended.)

When second curtain sync is used with a

moving subject and a slow shutter speed,

the light from the flash clearly illuminates
the subject for a sharp image but creates a
trailing image from ambient light for a flow

ing effect.

To use this function, set the sync position

selector to the right side.
