2nd curtain (rear curtain)

SLOW2
The 2nd curtain fires just before the shutter closes. Changing the flash timing
can create interesting effects in your picture, such as expressing the movement
of a car by showing the tail-lights streaming backwards. The slower the shutter
speed, the better the effects turn out.
The slowest possible shutter speed depends on the shooting mode:

1st curtain with red-eye reduction
H
SLOW1
This mode is for when you want to use slow synchronization, yet also reduce the
red-eye phenomenon. For instance, when shooting a person against a brightly
lit night background. A normal flash might make the person’s eyes red, but 1st
curtain with red-eye reduction lets you capture the background correctly and
reduce the red-eye phenomenon at the same time. 2nd curtain with red-eye
reduction is not available.
