Using Flash Selecting the flash timing (Slow Synchro) When you use a slow shutter speed, Slow Synchro flash mode allows you to fire the flash either just after the shutter opens or just before it closes, whichever gives the desired effect. This is especially useful for scenic shots taken at night. The " 1" setting fires the flash just as the shutter opens. If you use this setting to photograph a moving car, the final shot will show the headlights moving ahead of the car in the direction the car is moving (1st-curtain effect). 5 The " 2" setting fires the flash just before the shutter closes. If you use this setting to photograph a moving car, the final shot will show the tail lights streaming away behind the car (2nd-curtain effect).
