    Rear flash sync?

    I think that is what I have heard it called. The flash at the end of the exposure? I dont think I have it on my camera, I have explored most of the settings, and the manual on my Fz10. If I DO in fact have it, where would I find it on most cameras. I am working on some slower shutter speed action shots, and I need to get all the speed blur behind the rider, I still like the shots I can produce, but I wish I could get it to work.

    Heres an example I took today, I still like it, a lot, but It would be better if I could do this.

    you can switch between first- and second curtin flash in the main menu, with the camera in shoot mode. It's not in the quick menu that access the other functions and settings. In stead they put it with the "I want my camera to make this noise" and leave teh lcd on for this long after a pic is taken.

    I'd pour over your manual you might get lucky.

    (I get the play with a Digital Rebel at the 24 hour race this weekend. I can't wait. )

    The easiest solution to your problem is to have all the riders riding in reverse. Your trails would be behind them then. :^P

    Good luck in solving your problem!

    Brain is right, you want to set it to second curtain flash, depending on which camera you use? it should be in the quick menu.
