7.2Flash synchronisation 7.2.1 Normal synchronisation

In normal synchronisation the mecablitz is triggered at the beginning of the exposure time (1st curtain synchronisation). Normal synchronisation is the standard mode on all cameras, and is suitable for most flash shots. Depending upon the given mode, the camera is changed over to flash sync speed, the customary one being between 1/30th sec. and 1/125th sec. (see the camera’s operating instructions). No settings have to be made on the mecablitz, nor is there any display for this mode.

7.2.2 REAR - Second-curtain synchronisation

Some cameras offer the facility of second-curtain synchroni- sation (REAR mode) triggering the mecablitz by the end of the exposure time. Second-curtain synchronisation is particu- larly advantageous when using slow shutter speeds (slower than 1/30 sec.) or when shooting moving objects that have their own source of light.
