OTHER RECORDING FUNCTIONS

IMPORTANT!

• In the Shutter Speed Priority AE Mode (S Mode) or

Manual Exposure Mode (M Mode), the manually set

shutter speed takes priority over the above setting.

Selecting a Flash Sync Setting

You can use the following procedure to change the timing of

the flash. By using the flash sync setting, you can control

blur produced by movement.

■ Front-curtain and Rear-curtain Sync

Front-curtain sync causes the flash to fire immediately after

the shutter opens. Because of this, the blur created by move-

ment appears in front of the moving object (creating the im-

pression that the object is moving backwards).

Rear-curtain sync causes the flash to fire immediately before

the shutter closes. In this case, the blur created by move-

ment appears behind the moving object (creating the im-

pression that the object is moving forward).
