11.3 Synchronisation on the second cur-
tain (REAR)
Several cameras feature second curtain syn-
chronisation.
Depending on its operating mode, the came-
ra sets shutter speeds slower than its sync
speed. On some cameras the REAR function
is not possible in certain operating modes
(e.g., certain vari- or subject programs, or
with red eye reduction). In these cases, the
REAR mode cannot be selected and/or is
automatically cancelled or ignored (see
camera’s operating instructions).
For some cameras, the synchronisation can
be set to the 2nd shutter curtain on the
camera. After tapping the shutter release, the
REAR mode is automatically set on the flash
unit.
Setting procedure
• Press the
ቨ button as often as it takes
for the selection menu to appear.
• Press the sensor button on the
touch display.
• Press the sensor button on the touch
display and select "REAR".
• Press the sensor button on the touch
display.
• Press the sensor button on the touch
display.
The setting is adopted immediately.
"REAR" appears in the INFO menu after acti-
vation of the REAR function.
If high-speed synchronisation (HSS, see 7.4)
is set on the flash unit and the synchronisati-
on is set to the 2nd curtain, then high-speed
synchronisation (HSS) is deactivated.
The set high-speed synchronisation (HSS) is
deleted by the activation of "REAR".
The "REAR" function set is deleted by the
activation of the high-speed synchronisation
(HSS).
