Second-Curtain Synchronization
~~~~:iB
The EOS 3D/ELAN
7E
has a Custom Function enabling 2nd-curtain
synchronization.
Normally, 1st-curtain synchronization is set so that the flash is fired when
the shutter curtains fully open. With 2nd-curtain synchronization, the flash
is fired right before the shutter curtains close. When this is combined with a
slow shutter speed, you can capture the light trail following the moving
subject. This looks more natural.
• To set the camera's Custom Function, refer to the camera's Instructions.
