Second-Curtain Synchronization

The EOS 30/ELAN 7E has a Custom Function enabling 2nd-curtain

synchronization.

Normally. Ist-curtaln synchronization is set so that the flash is fired when

the shutter curtains fully open. With 2nd-curtain synchronization, the flash

is fired right before the shutter curtains close. When this is combined with a

slow shutter speed, you can capture the light trail following the moving

subject. This looks more natural.

• To set the camera's Custom Function, refer to the camera's Instructions.
