9.8 Synchronisation on the second curtain (REAR)

Several cameras feature second curtain synchronisation (see 11.3).
Depending on its operating mode, the camera sets shutter speeds slower than its
sync speed.
On some cameras the REAR function is not possible in certain operating modes
(e.g., certain vari- or subject programs, or with red eye reduction). In these
cases, the REAR mode cannot be selected and/or is automatically cancelled or
ignored (see camera's operating instructions).
For some cameras, the synchronisation can be set to the 2nd shutter cur-
tain on the camera. After tapping the shutter release, the REAR mode is
automatically set on the flash unit.
