13.4 Second curtain synchronisation
(REAR)
Some cameras offer the option of second-
curtain synchronisation (REAR), in which the
flash unit is not triggered until the end of the
exposure time.
This is particularly advantageous when used
with lower shutter speeds (slower than 1/30
sec.) and moving subjects that have their
own source of light. With second-curtain
synchronisation, a moving light source will
trail a light streak instead of building one up
ahead itself, as it does when the flash is
synchronised with the first shutter curtain.
k
In this way a „more natural" image of the
photographic situation is produced!
Depending on its operating mode, the
camera sets shutter speeds slower than
its sync speed.
The REAR mode is set on the camera (see
camera's operating instructions).
There is no display for REAR mode in the
flash unit.
