I thought that was on the camera, not the flash.

hmm... yes im aware of the cfn on my 350d that sets 2nd curtain sync, but it has no effect, so i assumed it was only for the onboard flash. ie, if i shoot a long exposure the flash always fires at the beginning, regardless of the cfn.

On the 430EX second curtain sync is enabled using the same button that enables High Speed sync. Press once for HSS, again for second curtain sync. The symbol has arrows, with one filled it. It is not in the custom functions.
