3 Setting the FlashN Shutter synchronization Normally, set this to [1st curtain] so that the flash fires immediately after the exposure starts. If [2nd curtain] is set, the flash will fire right before the shutter closes. When this is combined with a slow shutter speed, you can create a trail of light such as from car headlights at night with a more natural feel. With second-curtain synchronization, two flashes will be fired: once when you press the shutter button completely, and once immediately before the exposure ends. 2 Flash exposure compensation You can set flash exposure compensation up to ±3 stops in 1/3-stop increments. Wireless functions With wireless flash photography (via optical transmission), you can use the built-in flash to wirelessly control external Speedlites. For details, see "Using Wireless Flash" on page 272. When using second-curtain synchronization, set the shutter speed to 1/25 sec. or slower. If the shutter speed is 1/30 sec. or faster, first-curtain synchronization will be applied automatically even if [2nd curtain] is set. 266
