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.

Shooting Problem Subjects for the 
Autofocus
The autofocus may not work well on the following types of subjects.• Subjects with extremely low contrast to the surroundings
• Subjects mixing close and far objects
• Subjects with extremely bright objects at the center of the composition
• Subjects that are moving quickly
• Subjects with horizontal stripes
To shoot these subjects, first aim the camera at an object at a similar 
distance, lock the focus (focus lock) or autofocus (AF lock) and 
recompose the image with the desired subject. You can also use 
manual focus.

occasionally be incorrect if the difference between the two items is 
too great. Use the AF lock function or the AE lock procedure 
(p. 104) when this happens.
