Switching the Timing at which the Flash Fires

1st-curtain

The flash fires right after the shutter opens, regardless of the shutter speed. Usually,

the 1st-curtain is used when shooting.

2nd-curtain

The flash fires right before the shutter closes, regardless of the shutter speed.

Compared with the 1st-curtain, the flash fires later and this allows you to shoot

images in which, for example, a car’s rear lamps seem to trail off behind.
