2nd curtain (rear curtain) 
#SLOW2
With 2nd curtain, the flash fires just before the shutter closes. Changing the 
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, 
m mode : 4 sec.
1st curtain with red-eye reduction 
HSLOW1
This mode is for when you want to use slow 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.
