When you photograph a moving subject with slow synchronizatio n, usually the furrow of the subject will be
exposed in front of t he subject. The ordinary flash light will fire when the first shutter curtain is fully opened,
thus the subject will be exposed from the time flash is fired to the time the shutter is close d (This is calle d
First Curtain Sync hronization). When you use second curt ain synchronization, th e flash will fire just before
the second curtain begins to closes, and the subject will be ex posed by ambient light from the time the
shutter opens until the f lash fires. Th e furrow of the subject will therefore be exposed behind the subject,
creating a more natural effect.
