The synchronization of firing of the flash and the shutter release so that the peak flash intensity occurs while the shutter is open.
Timing of the closing of the flash contact inside the shutter so as to make the peak brightness of the flash coincide with the maximum shutter opening at instantaneous shutter speeds.
Simply the function of the timing of the flash coinciding with the shutter release. There are two types of synchronization: Front Curtain Sync, which activates the flash at the start of the exposure and a Rear Curtain Sync that triggers the flash at the end of the exposure.
Timing the triggering of the flash so that it fires only when the shutter is completely open, thereby ensuring complete exposure of the entire film frame.
The adjustment and timing of camera and flash so that the flash fires when the camera shutter is open. Most 35mm SLR cameras synchronize with electronic flash at shutter speeds of 1/60th or slower.
method of synchronizing flash light duration with maximum shutter opening. There are usually two settings on a camera, X and M. X is the setting used for electronic flash. M is for most expendable types of flash (bulbs) which require a delay in shutter opening.
This means to trigger the flash so it goes off only when the camera's shutter is completely open. This will give you a complete exposure of the whole film frame.
In a camera, flash synchronization is required for the firing of a photographic flash to coincide with the shutter admitting light to the photographic film.
