11.1 Synchronisation on the
second curtain
Some cameras offer the option of second-
curtain synchronisation, in which the flash
unit is not triggered until the end of the expo-
sure time.
This is particularly advantageous when used
with lower shutter speeds (slower than 1/30
sec.) and moving subjects that have their
own source of light. With second-curtain syn-
chronisation, a moving light source will trail a
light streak instead of building one up ahead
itself, as it does when the flash is synchroni-
sed with the first shutter curtain. In this way
a „more natural“ image of the photographic
situation is produced!
Depending on its operating mode, the came-
ra sets shutter speeds slower than its sync
speed.
On some cameras the 2.Curtain function is
not possible in certain operating modes (e.g.,
certain vari- or subject programs, or with red
eye reduction). In these cases, the 2.Curtain
mode cannot be selected and/or is automati-
cally cancelled or ignored (see camera’s ope-
rating instructions).
