2nd Curtain Synchronization
In 2nd curtain synchronization, the flash is fired at the end of a slow shutter. If
done - for example - when taking a picture of a moving vehicle, the lights from
the tail lamps are drawn behind the car.
1 Set the camera to the 2nd curtain synchronization mode.
For more information on the 2nd curtain synchronization mode, see the
instructions that came with the camera.
2 Check that "2nd - CURTAIN SYNCHRO" is displayed on the flash's
control panel.
3 Check that the CHARGED lamp is lit.
If the CHARGED lamp is out, the flash is not yet fully charged for firing.
4 Press the shutter release button down all the way.
MEMO
• Shutter speed is slower, therefore it is recommended to use a tripod to prevent the kind
of blurring that comes by shaking the camera.
