1st Curtain, 2nd Curtain The following images were obtained by taking the
pictures of straight-moving subject along with the
respective options of 1st Curtain and 2nd Curtain.
In case of using the 1st Curtain fl ash function,
the front part of action is remained clearly since
the fl ash will burst light immediately upon shutter
opening. Since the fl ash bursts the light at a later
time when having used the 2nd Curtain option,
the picture expresses the last image of the subject
clearly.

Adjusting the ISO sensitivity The ISO sensitivity, as the fi lm sensitivity
established by the international standards
organization (ISO), represents the degree of
reaction when camera receives light. Since it
reacts more sensitively with greater ISO value, a
natural shot can be obtained in a dark place by
raising the ISO value. This reduces the degree of
camera shaking with faster shutter speed.
