The slow sync looks great

Slow Sync shutter is a hidden gem


Almost no one is talking about it, but this year we got Slow Sync for the flash, and it’s actually pretty cool. Traditional photographers are already familiar with this, but for those of you who aren’t, basically Slow Sync is keeping the shutter open a bit longer to allow more natural light in when shooting with a flash. As a result, the image isn’t only lit by the light provided by the flash, but instead is balanced with the ambient light of the environment which creates a more balanced, natural shot.

Here are a couple of side-by-sides:

As you can see, the Slow Sync function lets a lot more ambient light in, giving the viewer a much stronger sense of place in the image. Note: These were shot with the rear camera, not the selfie camera.

You can see the exposure is much more balanced with the 8 Plus, and the longer shutter means you can experiment with motion effects like the one I created in the lower example image.

This is a fantastic advance that’ll quietly impact the quality of the images we shoot indoors, at night, at parties, etc. People will look better and images will be richer in color and ambiance. I’m really excited to see this improvement.

Who does Apple use as their courier? I am hoping DPD, as they provide an hour time slot and the ability to track - Im at work so can pop home to collect it. :)
