Sigma ELECTRONIC FLASH EF-610 DG SUPER NA-iTTL (ニコン用): REAR-CURTAIN SYNCHRONIZATION

Exposure compensation on M mode

When using the camera on M mode, you can change the aperture value on the camera, or change the

flash power level, after setting the exposure compensation.

REAR-CURTAIN SYNCHRONIZATION

When you photograph a moving subject with slow synchronization, usually the furrow of the subject

will be exposed in front of the subject. The ordinary flash light will fire when the first shutter curtain is

fully opened, thus the subject will be exposed from the time flash is fired to the time the shutter is

closed (This is front curtain synchronization). When you use rear curtain synchronization, the flash will

fire just before the rear curtain begins to close, and the subject will be exposed by ambient light from

the time the shutter opens until the flash fires. As a result, the furrow of the subject will therefore be

recorded behind the subject, creating a more natural effect.

◆ It can be used with cameras providing rear-curtain sync. only.

◆ You cannot set this function on the flashgun directly. For details please refer to your camera’s

instruction manual.

◆ The LCD panel on the flash will indicate mark, when the “Second-curtain synchronization”

function is set.

RED-EYE REDUCTION

When you take a picture with flash, sometimes the person’s eyes reflect the flash light and appear as

“red-eyes”, in the picture. If you use the function of “Red-eye reduction”, the flash will blink

approximately 1 second, before the shutter is released, and reduce the “red-eye”.

◆ Available with cameras providing red-eye reduction control only.

◆ You cannot set this function on the flashgun directly. For details please refer to your camera’s

instruction manual.

◆ The LCD panel on the flash will indicate mark, when the “Red-eye reduction” function is set.

MULTI FLASH MODE

When a slow shutter speed is used, the flash will fire repeatedly while the shutter is open. By doing so a

series of images of the subject will be exposed in one frame. A dark background with a bright subject

shows the result more effectively in this mode. It is possible to set the firing frequency between 1Hz and

100Hz. Up to 90 flashes can be fired continuously. The maximum number of flashes varies, depending

on the flash guide number and firing frequency settings. (Please refer to table3 on the last page).
