11.4 Second curtain synchronisation
(2. CURTAIN)
Some cameras offer the option of second-curtain
synchronisation (2. CURTAIN), 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 buil-
ding one up ahead itself, as it does when the flash
is synchronised with the first shutter curtain. 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.
On some cameras the 2. CURTAIN function is not
possible in certain operating modes (e.g., certain
vari- or subject programs, or with red eye reducti-
on). In these cases, the 2. CURTAIN mode cannot be
selected and/or is automatically cancelled or igno-
red (see camera’s operating instructions).
Use a tripod to avoid blurred images!
