Flash shooting<br />
1st curtain<br />
Usually, regardless of the shutter speed, the flash fires right after the shutter fully<br />
opens. This is called 1st curtain. Unless you change it, this is how the flash always<br />
fires.<br />
Slow synchronization (2nd curtain) SLOW2<br />
2nd curtain flash fires just before the shutter closes. Changing the flash timing can<br />
create interesting effects in your picture, such as expressing the movement of a<br />
car by showing the tail-lights streaming backwards. The slower the shutter speed,<br />
the better the effects turn out. The slowest possible shutter speed depends on the<br />
shooting mode.<br />
P mode : 2 sec.<br />
A/S/M mode (Bulb is also available) : 30 sec.<br />

Slow synchronization + Red-eye reduction flash SLOW<br />
This mode is for when you want to use slow synchronization, yet also reduce the<br />
red-eye phenomenon. For instance, when shooting a person against a brightly lit<br />
night background. A normal flash might make the person’s eyes red, but this mode<br />
lets you capture the background correctly and reduce the red-eye phenomenon at<br />
the same time. 2nd curtain flash with red-eye reduction is not available.<br />
