7.2 Flash synchronisation
7.2.1 Normal synchronisation
In normal synchronisation the mecablitz is triggered at the
beginning of the exposure time (1st curtain synchronisation).
Normal synchronisation is the standard mode on all
cameras, and is suitable for most flash shots. Depending
upon the given mode, the camera is changed over to flash
sync speed, the customary one being between 1/30th sec.
and 1/125th sec. (see the camera’s operating instructions).
No settings have to be made on the mecablitz, nor is there
any display for this mode.
7.2.2 REAR - Second-curtain synchronisation
Some cameras offer the facility of second-curtain synchroni-
sation (REAR mode) triggering the mecablitz by the end of
the exposure time. Second-curtain synchronisation is particu-
larly advantageous when using slow shutter speeds (slower
than 1/30 sec.) or when shooting moving objects that have
their own source of light. Second-curtain synchronisation
