U: Front-Curtain Sync (Normal Sync)
Set the flash sync mode to Front-Curtain Sync for normal
flash photography. The camera’s shutter speed is
automatically set between 1/90 to 1/60 sec. for flash
photography in lOi (AUTO mode) or % (Portrait mode),
1/90 to 1/15 sec. in B (Landscape mode), and to 1/90
sec. in Auto-Multi Program, Aperture-Priority Auto, A
(Close-Up mode) or (Sports Continuous mode). (With optional Speedlight
SB-26, SB-25 and SB-24, set the Speedlight’s sync mode selector to NORMAL.)
[™j: Slow Sync
Slow Sync can be used in S Night Scene mode, Auto­
Multi Program or Aperture-Priority Auto exposure mode.
Normally, the camera’s shutter speed is automatically set
to 1/90 sec. for flash photography. However, for shooting
nighttime scenes. Slow Sync uses a slower shutter speed
(down to maximum of 30 sec., 1 sec. in SI Night Scene
mode) to bring out background details using all of the available light.
Q: Rear-Curtain Sync
Rear-Curtain Sync can be used in Auto-Multi Program,
Shutter-Priority Auto, Aperture-Priority Auto or Manual
exposure mode. Normally, the Speedlight fires at the end
of the exposure, turning available light into a stream of
light that follows the flash-illuminated moving subject.
When Rear-Curtain Sync is set in Auto-Multi Program or
Aperture-Priority Auto exposure mode, Slow Sync is
automatically set. (With an optional Speedlight SB-26, 25 and 24, set the
Speedlight’s sync mode selector to REAR.)
