Rear-curtain sync In normal flash photography, when photographing fast-moving subjects at low shutter speeds at night, pictures can appear unnatural because the subject frozen by the flash appears behind or within the blurred movement. Rear-curtain sync flash creates a picture in which the blur of a moving subject appears behind the subject and not in front. • In front-curtain sync, the flash fires immediately after the front curtain is fully open; in rear-curtain sync, the flash fires moments before the rear curtain starts to close. • Since low shutter speeds are normally used, use of a tripod is recommended to prevent camera shake. • Rear-curtain sync does not operate in repeating flash mode.
