Red-eye reduction/Red-eye reduction with slow-sync flash

To prevent your subject’s eyes from appearing red in color pictures shot in dim light, the SB-900 fires three flashes at reduced output just before the picture is taken.

In the Red-eye reduction with slow sync flash, red-eye reduction is combined with slow-sync flash.

Since slow shutter speeds are normally used in red-eye reduction with slow-sync flash, use of a tripod is recommended to prevent camera shake.

Rear-curtain sync

In normal flash photography, when shooting fast-moving subjects at slow shutter speeds, unnatural-looking pictures can occur, because the subject frozen by the flash appears behind or within the blurred movement (see photo below right). Rear-curtain flash sync creates a picture in which the blur of a moving subject (for

D example, the taillights of a car) appears behind the subject and not in front.

• In front-curtain sync, the flash fires immediately after the front curtain opens completely; in rear-curtain sync, the flash fires just before the rear curtain starts to close.

• Since slow shutter speeds are usually used, use a tripod to prevent camera shake.

• This function does not operate in Repeating flash operation.

• In multiple flash, the master flash unit can be set to either front-curtain or rear- curtain sync flash. However, the remote units cannot be set to rear-curtain sync flash. (kD-39)
