This flash unit has the following sync modes. Select the mode
best suited for the subject.
Leading Curtain Sync Mode
This is the most commonly used sync mode. In this mode, the
flash is discharged at the instant the first shutter curtain
completes its travel. You can use this mode with the shutter
speed set to the X-sync speed or slower. Refer to page 31 for
this sync mode.
Trailing Curtain Sync Mode
In this sync mode, the flash is discharged at the instant the
second curtain begins its travel. This mode will freeze the
subject with a blur appearing after the subject under a slow
shutter speed condition. Refer to page 31 for this sync mode.
High-speed Sync Mode
This sync mode will enable flash synchronization with shutter
speeds faster than the X-sync speed. Since there is no sync
speed limitation, high-speed sync is effective for fill-flash in
daylight. Refer to page 32 for this sync mode.
Contrast Control Sync Mode
This sync mode enables you to photograph with multiple flash
units, utilizing the difference of the light intensity of each flash
unit to optimize the shadow of the subject. The ratio of flash
light intensity between the flash unit set to this sync mode and
the other flash unit is 1:2. Refer to page 34 for this sync mode.
