Flash shooting
1st curtain
Usually, regardless of the shutter speed, the flash fires right after the shutter fully
opens. This is called 1st curtain. Unless you change it, this is how the flash always
fires.
Slow synchronization (2nd curtain)
SLOW2
2nd curtain flash 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.
P mode
: 2 sec.
A/S/M mode (Bulb is also available) : 30 sec.

Slow synchroni Red-eye reduction flash
SLOW
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 this mode
lets you capture the background correctly and reduce the red-eye phenomenon at
the same time. 2nd curtain flash with red-eye reduction is not available.
