MODE
SYNC TERMINAL
Choose from the following options:
•
M: A trigger signal is transmitted via the hot shoe X contacts
when a picture is taken. Choose a shutter speed slower than
the sync speed; even slower speeds may be required if the
unit uses long fl ashes or has a slow response time.
•
D (OFF): The trigger signal is disabled.
Choose whether the fl ash is timed to fi re immediately after
the shutter opens (H/1ST CURTAIN) or immediately before
it closes (I/2ND CURTAIN). 1ST CURTAIN is recommended in
most circumstances.
