SLOW:
1st curtain with red-eye reduction
This is for when you want to use Slow Synchronization yet also reduce red-
eye. For instance, when shooting a person against a brightly lit night
background.
A normal flash might make the person’s eyes red, but 1st curtain with red-eye
reduction lets you capture the background correctly and reduce red-eye at the
same time.
2nd curtain with red-eye reduction is not available.

SLOW2:
2nd curtain (rear curtain)
In contrast to 1st curtain, 2nd curtain fires the flash just before the shutter
closes. Changing the flash timing can create interesting effects in your
picture, such as expressing the movement of a car by showing the taillights
streaming backwards. The slower the shutter speed, the better the effects
turn out.
Slowest possible shutter speeds:
S mode: 4 sec.
M mode: 16 sec. P/A mode: 1 sec.
