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, regardless of
the shutter speed. Compared with the 1st-curtain, the flash
fires later and this allows you to shoot images in which, for
example, a car’s rear lamps seem to trail off behind.
