1st-curtain
The flash fires right after the shutter opens, regardless
of the shutter speed. Usually, the 1st-curtain is used
when shooting.
2nd-curtain
The flash fires right before the shutter closes.
Compared with the 1st-curtain, the flash fires later and
allows you to shoot images in which, for example, a
car’s taillights seem to trail off behind.
