rSecond-curtain Sync

Shooting with a slow shutter speed and second-curtain sync captures the trajectory of moving light sources, such as car lights, in a natural way. The flash fires right before the exposure finishes (shutter closes).

Press function button 4 <Y> to display <r>.

Second-curtain sync works well when the camera’s shooting mode is set to “buLb”.

To return to normal flash shoo ing, press function button 4 <Y> to turn off <r>.

When the flash mode is set to <a>, the flash fires twice. This first flash is a preflash to determine the flash output. It is not a malfunction. Second-curtain sync is not available during wireless flash shooting.
