As I mentioned on my previous post, here are some samples of using the on camera flash on normal mode and slow synchro or rear curtain mode.
Here I used flash on normal mode and as you can see, the background is very dark while the people are properly exposed.
Here's a photo using slow synchro mode
The background and the people are now properly exposed and there is over exposure on the sky as I was looking directly into the sun.
You use a flash when the sun is directly behind your subject so their faces don't become dark. The problem with using slow synchro flash is that the shutter speed is usually set as if there's no flash. In this case, the shutter speed was set at 1/20 which will be prone to blur or camera shake.
In cases like this, you would normally use a tripod, but I just relied on steady hands and the image stabilizer mode on my camera.
This blur can be good or bad depending on what you have in mind for a photo. It would look great say if you're taking a photo in a bar or disco with lots of laser or strobe lights but would need a flash to see the faces of the people. This is where you might want to use slow synchro setting on your on camera flash.
Try it out!
