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:
M mode : 16 sec
P, A, S, []

1st curtain with red-eye reduction <_>_.SLOW
This mode is for when you want to use stow 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 2nd curtain
with red-eye reduction is not available
