SELECTING THE FIRING MOMENT

Flash photographs are illuminated by two light sources, the

available light and the light from the ﬂash. Parts of the subject that

are exclusively or primarily illuminated by the ﬂash are almost

always reproduced sharply (with correct focusing) due to the

extremely fast pulse of light. By contrast, all other parts of the

subject – those that are suﬃciently illuminated by the available

light or illuminate themselves – are portrayed with diﬀerent

degrees of sharpness in the same picture. Whether these parts of

the subject are reproduced sharply or “blurred”, and the degree of

blurring, is determined by two independent factors:

1. The shutter speed, i.e. for how long these parts of the subject

“act upon” the sensor, and

2. how quickly these parts of the subject – or the camera itself

– are moving during exposure.

The longer the exposure time or the faster this movement, the

greater the extent to which the two – superimposed – parts of the

picture can diﬀer.

With the conventional time for ﬁring the ﬂash, at the beginning of

the exposure, i.e. immediately after the 1st shutter curtain has

completely opened the image window. This can actually lead to

visible contradictions, e.g. in the picture of the motorcycle, which

is being overtaken by its own light trail.

The camera allows you to choose between this conventional ﬁring

moment and synchronization with the end of the exposure, i.e.

immediately before the 2nd shutter curtain starts to close the

image window again. In this case, the sharp image reﬂects the end

of the movement captured. In the photograph, this ﬂash technique

gives a natural impression of movement and dynamics.

The function is available

– for all camera and ﬂash unit settings

– when using the ﬂash unit on the camera or with the SCA adapter

set

– in aperture priority mode and with manual shutter speed

selection

– in automatic and manual ﬂash mode.

The displays are identical in both cases.

1. In the main camera menu, (see p. 154/248) select
