  • Penyegerakan Tirai Depan: The flash fires at the beginning of the exposure. This is the standard sync mode.
  • Penyegerakan Tirai Belakang: The flash fires just before the second curtain closes. This creates a streaking effect behind moving subjects, giving a sense of motion.

  • Penjagaan Bateri: To maintain battery health, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. If storing for extended periods, charge the battery to approximately 50% every few months.
