scotshot Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 In the shooting info for my new 300D it always says first curtainsync. I'm not a photographer that uses flash much except with studioset ups, my question is this. Is it possible to set the Digital Rebel/ 300D to second curtain sync and if so HOW? I have not read anythingin the manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beauh44 Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Hi James, I don't own the 300d but if you buy a flash like the 550EX it will support 2nd curtain synch on the EOS bodies that don't support it, I believe. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil vaughan - yorkshire u Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Like Beau says, you can't set it on the camera but a 550ex or 580ex can be set on-flash and it'll work with the 300d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeman458 Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 If it's available in the custom function feature in the 10D. It's custome function feature #15. Check the menu, custom function under shutter curtain sync. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christopher_bibbs Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 The Russian firmware hack adds this capability, but it isn't natively supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul - Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 You sure about that, Christopher? According to <a href="http://members.rogers.com/tanm/Wasia%20B7.1%20firmware%20features.pdf">this 12/12/2004 features list update,</a> linked to on <a href="http://www.bahneman.com/liem/photos/tricks/digital-rebel-tricks.html">www.bahneman.com's "Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel Tips and Tricks" page,</a> the Russsian hack hasn't unlocked CF 15 (2nd curtain sync) yet.<p>Someone said Wasia isn't going to work on it anymore since people are selling his free hack on eBay.

bill_goldman Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 On most EOS bodies, 2nd curtain sync can be selected with C.Fn 15. However, C.Fn 15-1 is effective only when used with Speedlites which support 2nd-curtain sync but lack the capability for setting this function on the Speedlite (e.g., 220EX, 380EX, 420EX). When using a Speedlite having 2nd-curtain sync setting capability, it must be set on the Speedlite (e.g., 580EX, 550EX, MR-14EX, MT-24EX, 540EZ).

bill_goldman Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 The above is true only for EOS bodies which support 2nd curtain sync. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotshot Posted January 20, 2005 Author Share Posted January 20, 2005 Thanks for your answers guys. So the answer is NO unless used with a flash that supports it or the filmware Hack. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
