Hi Evrim, If there is enough ambient light there's a very good chance of ghosting with slow shutters. Back in the (G)olden days of bulb flash, many cameras would sync at 1/15 and frequently images had ghost images produced by the ambient light. This is why so many of the more desirable "user" classic camera bodies are later models and have a faster X sync speed. A faster shutter sync speed ensures that ghosting doesn't happen and yet still allows you to use a slower shutter if you do want it to happen.
