A flash is usually fired at the start of exposure (Start of Exp.Start of Exp.). This
may result in apparent contradictions, e.g. the picture of a vehicle
being overtaken by its own light trail. This camera allows you to
synchronize the flash firing with the end of exposure (End of Exp.End of Exp.).
The sharp image will in this case be a rendering of the end of the
captured motion. This flash technique creates a more natural
impression of movement and dynamics in the image.
This function is available with all camera and flash unit settings.

• The set sync point is shown in the header line.
Notes
• Do not use sync cables that are longer than 3 m.
• When using the flash with faster shutter speeds, a difference
between the two flash times will be barely discernible or only
noticeable for very fast movements.
FLASH RANGE
The usable flash range depends on the aperture and sensitivity
values set manually or calculated by the camera. It is important to
ensure that the subject is within the relevant flash range for
sufficient illumination. A permanent setting to the shortest
available shutter speed for flash mode (sync time) may often result
in unnecessary underexposure of those subject elements that are
not lit sufficiently by the flash.
This camera allows the fine tuning of the shutter speed used in
flash mode in combination with aperture priority depending on the
conditions of the object or your own picture composition ideas.
