Setting the 2nd curtain sync
Recording mode: 
2nd curtain sync is a recording method in which the flash fires just before the shutter 
closes when you take a picture of a moving subject (such as a car) using the flash with a 
slow shutter speed.
 →   [Rec] → [Flash] → [Flash Synchro]
[1ST]
1st curtain sync is the normal recording method when 
using the flash.
[2ND]
The light source is captured in back of the subject and 
this produces a picture that is vibrant and lively.
 
If you set to [2ND], [2nd] will be displayed in the flash icon on the screen.
 
When a fast shutter speed is set, the [Flash Synchro] effect may not be sufficiently achieved.
 
When [2ND] is set, you cannot set the flash setting to [   ] or [   ].
Adjusting the flash output
Recording mode: 
Adjust the flash output if a picture taken using the flash is too bright or too dark.
