Second-Curtain Sync

Using second-curtain sync at low shutter speeds enables natural shots of subject motion trails, such as car lights. The flash fires immediately before the camera finishes shooting (before the shutter closes).

  1. Push the joystick straight in.

  2. Select the item shown in (1).

    • Press the joystick vertically or horizontally or turn Select dial to select the item, then push the joystick straight in.

  3. Select Second-curtain sync.

    • Press the joystick horizontally or turn Select dial to select Second-curtain sync, then push the joystick straight in.

Note

  • Second-curtain sync works well in Bulb (Bulb) shooting mode.
  • The Speedlite fires twice in ETTL flash mode. The first firing, which does not indicate malfunctioning, is preflash to determine flash output.
  • To return to normal flash firing, select First-curtain sync (first-curtain sync) in step 3 (First-curtain sync is not displayed on the screen after configuration).
