• The first shot is taken without a correction

value. „FB 1“ will also appear on the
display.

• The second shot is taken with minus cor-

rection. „FB 2“ and the minus correction
value (EV) will also appear on the
display.

• The third shot is taken with plus correction. „FB 3“ and the plus correction

value (EV) will also appear on the display.

• After the third shot, the flash bracketing series is automatically deleted. „FB“

will disappear from the display.

When the flash bracketing series is set, the correction value is always
shown as a positive value!

Flash bracketing series in the TTL flash mode
A flash bracketing series in the TTL flash mode is only possible if the camera sup-
ports the setting of a manual flash exposure correction on the flash unit (see
camera instruction manual)! Otherwise, the shots are taken without a correction
value!
Flash bracketing in automatic flash mode A
The type of camera is not important for a flash bracketing series in automatic
flash mode A.

7.4 2nd curtain synchronisation (REAR mode)

With normal synchronisation the flash unit is activated at the beginning of the
exposure time (1st curtain synchronisation). This is the standard operation and is
performed by all cameras.
Some cameras feature 2nd curtain synchronisation (REAR mode) as well. This
doesn’t activate the flash unit until the end of the exposure time. This is particu-
larly advantageous when using fast shutter speeds (slower than 1/30 second)

and when shooting moving objects that have their own source of light, because
streaks of light then trail behind light sources instead of building up in front of
them, as is the case with 1st curtain synchronisation. In this way, 2nd curtain
synchronisation is able to deliver a more realistic impression of movement!
Depending on its operating mode, the camera uses shutter speeds that are slo-
wer than its sync speed.
• When the „REAR ON“ setting is activated, the 2nd curtain synchronisation will

be used (see 17.2).

• When the „REAR OFF“ setting is activated, the normal synchronisation will be

used.

Setting procedure:
• Press the

button repeatedly until „Select“ appe-

ars on the display.

• Select the menu option „REAR“ by pressing the UP

and

keys. The selected menu option will be

highlighted.

• Confirm the selection of the special function by pres-

sing the

button.

• Select the desired setting with the

and

keys. The setting takes effect immediately.

• Press the button

repeatedly until the screen is

reset to its normal view. If the button

is not pres-

sed, the display is automatically reset to its normal
view after about 5 seconds.
