Normally, set this to [

] so that the flash fires immediately
after the exposure starts.
If [

] is set, the flash will fire right before the exposure
ends. When this is combined with a slow sync speed, you can create
a trail of light such as from car headlights at night. With 2nd curtain
sync, two flashes will be fired. Once when you press the shutter
button completely, and once immediately before the exposure ends.
