The implementation tends to be a switch on the flash, I expect because camera interfaces are already far too complicated for another switch, and to ensure that manufacturers can sell new flash units, but the feature is 100% camera body. If second curtain sync was actuated by a switch on the body, any flash would support it. William Robb - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
