more realistic impression of movement because the light stre-
aks behind the light source instead of building up in front of it,
as is the case when the flash is synchronised with the 1st shut-
ter curtain! Depending on its operating mode, the camera
uses shutter speeds slower than its sync speed.
The REAR function is only possible with cameras fea-
turing this facility. The corresponding setting is made
on the camera (see operating instructions of the given
camera).
7.2.3 Slow synchronisation / SLOW
In certain operating modes, some cameras permit slow flash
synchronisation (SLOW) which will provide added promi-
nence to the background at lower ambient light levels. This is
achieved by matching the shutter speed to the ambient light.
Accordingly, shutter speeds slower than the flash sync speed
are automatically adjusted by the camera. Some cameras
automatically activate SLOW synchronisation in connection
with certain programs (e.g. aperture priority “Av” or “A”,
night shots program, etc.) or permit slow synchronisation to
☞
be set (see camera’s instruction manual).
Use a tripod to avoid camera shake with slow shutter
speeds!
7.3 Mecabounce-diffuser
With this diffuser, soft lighting can be achieved in a very sim-
ple manner. It gives your pictures a marvellous soft appea-
rance, while the tone of skin is rendered faithfully.
With the wide angle diffuser, focal lengths of 18 mm or more
can be illuminated (35 mm format).
To assembly see side 144.
