the movement of a car by showing the tail-lights streaming backwards The
slower the shutter speed, the better the effects turn out

1st curtain with red-eye reduction <_> _,SLOWl
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. 2rid curtain
with red-eye reduction is not available.
