Second-Curtain Synchronization 1 r • - The EOS 30/ELAN 7E has a Custom Function enabling 2nd-curtain synchronization. Normally, 1st-curtain synchronization is set so that the flash is fired when the shutter curtains fully open. With 2nd-curtain synchronization, the flash is fired right before the shutter curtains close. When this is combined with a slow shutter speed, you can capture the light trail following the moving subject.
