Nikon E2 instruction manual Woe, Front-curtain sync Rear-curtain sync

Page 70

In "NORMAL" flash synchronization , the flash fires at an early stage of exposure (front-curtain sync) , resulting in unnatural light patterns at slow shutter speeds with a moving subject. With Nikon Speed lights SB-26 and SB-25 , Rear-Curtain Sync is possible , where the flash is set to fire the instant before the rear-curtain begins to c lose . This transforms available light into

astream of light that fol lows the moving , flash- illum inated subject.

-Use a tripod to minimize camera shake.
