 What's the difference between first-curtain and second-curtain flash sync?
I keep seeing this mentioned in camera specs, and while it's pretty obvious
what it _means_ (does it flash as soon as the first curtain's fully open, or
just before the second one starts to close) I don't see what it gains you to
be able to choose.
