This mode is recommended for most situations. In pro- grammed auto and aperture-priority auto modes, shutter speed will automatically be set to values between 1/60 and ½50 s (1/60 to 1/8,000 s with Auto FP High-Speed Sync).

Flash is combined with speeds as slow as 30 s to capture both subject and background at night or under dim light. This mode is only available in programmed auto and aper- ture-priority auto exposure modes. Use of tripod is recom- mended to prevent blurring caused by camera shake.

In shutter-priority auto or manual exposure mode, ﬂash ﬁres just before the shutter closes, creating effect of a stream of light behind moving objects. In programmed auto and aperture-priority auto, slow rear-curtain sync is used to cap- ture both subject and background. Use of tripod is recom- mended to prevent blurring caused by camera shake.

In this mode (available only with SB-series 800, 600, 80DX, 28DX, 28, 27, 26, and 25 Speedlights), red-eye reduction pre-ﬂash lights for approximately one second before main ﬂash. Pupils in subject’s eyes to contract, reducing “red-eye” effect sometimes caused by ﬂash.

Combines red-eye reduction with slow sync. This mode is only available with SB-series 800, 600, 80DX, 28DX, 28, 27, 26, and 25 Speedlights in programmed auto and aperture- priority auto exposure modes. Use of a tripod is recom- mended to prevent blurring caused by camera shake.

SB-Series 26, 25, and 24 Speedlights

Front- and rear-curtain sync modes for SB-series 26, 25, and 24 Speedlights are set using the sync mode selector on the optional Speedlight. Camera red-eye reduction settings take priority over mode selected with SB-26 and SB-25.

Studio Flash Systems

Rear-curtain sync can not be used with studio ﬂash systems, as the correct synchro- nization can not be obtained.
