onboard flash on 300D

[penfolduk]

is it at all possible to change when the flash flashes on a 300D eg at towards the end of a shot rather than at the beginning?Cheers in advancePhil

do you want something like a second curtain sync? you might be able to turn it on in custom functions. instead of firing the flash when the shutter opens, it fires the flash when it closes.

Yes. Find the flash sync custom function, and set it to second curtain.

I don't believe the 300D has that capability.

I'm pretty sure it has it...but it's been a few years since I've owned it.

There are no custom functions on a 300D and the manual lists no 2nd curtain sync capability. Some external flash units allow it via the flash.

There's always the Wasia/Undutchables firmware to open up some of the custom functions.

Hope this helps.

Looks like second curtain sync is enabled with the above firmware hack.
