9.8 Synchronisation on the second curtain (REAR)
Several cameras feature second curtain synchronisation (see 11.3).
Depending on its operating mode, the camera sets shutter speeds slower than its
sync speed.
On some cameras the REAR function is not possible in certain operating modes
(e.g., certain vari- or subject programs, or with red eye reduction). In these
cases, the REAR mode cannot be selected and/or is automatically cancelled or
ignored (see camera's operating instructions).
Setting procedure
• actuate the shutter release in order to transfer data from the flash unit to the
camera.
• repeatedly press button combi-
nation „Select" until only „REAR"
appears flashing in the display.
• the required settings can be app-
lied using the + and — buttons.
– when„REAR On" is displayed
the second curtain synchronisation is
activated (REAR-mode).
– when„REAR Off" is displayed the
second curtain synchronisation is deactivated.
The setting takes effect immediately.
After about 5 seconds the display stops flashing and the setting is saved auto-
matically. „REAR" is shown in the display following activation of the second cur-
tain synchronisation.
☞ Second curtain synchronisation cannot be activated when the flash unit is
set to high-speed synchronisation FP or HSS (see 7.3).
