2nd Curtain Flash Sync

2nd Curtain Flash Sync

  • Also known as rear curtain sync. This technique is useful when you want to have a long exposure, and yet you want to freeze the motion of some subjects that are infront of you. When the shutter is activated, there are 2 curtains. The first curtain will open, and depend on the shutter speed, the second curtain will close the exposure. During a 2nd curtain flash sync, the flash will fire 1.5 milliseconds before the 2nd curtain starts to close. This technique will allow the background of your photos to expose properly (but may not be sharp), and then the flash will expose and freeze your subject just before the 2nd curtain close.
  • Example of a 2nd Curtain flash sync :
