Rear curtain sync????

I'm completely stumped here, and there is no in-camera setting given there isn't internal flash... I've tried setting it in the 910 itself to no avail... Any ideas guys?

Any such setting would have to be in the camera, not in the flash. The camera tells the flash when to fire. Rear-curtain would mean that the camera is giving this signal to the flash just before it closes the second curtain, rather than the default case of sending this signal just after it finished opening the first curtain. The flash wouldn't know anything about the positions of the curtains; it would just know to fire when the camera tells it to.

Yes, there is. The easy way would be to check your camera manual, see Rear Curtain in the index, DF too.

If you don't have it.. http://download.nikonimglib.com/archive2/Fmy0O00idFXn00BhAlP77grqqn65/Df_(En)02.pdf

This menu is not about internal flash, it is about how the shutter triggers any flash.

Press and hold the Flash Mode button on the camera body while rotating the command wheel; you're looking for "rear" to display.

No flash button, nor any menu item in the whole menu regarding sync type. Welcome to Df.

Edit - a little blind, but they combined it with zoom out left rear button. Interesting choice, Nikon... would've been much easier to set that to Bracketing and have that bracketing button be the flash mode like on every other body.

Ugh... That'll learn me to look at what sub-forum I'm posting in! Didn't see that body listed in your sig, made assumptions... yadda, yadda, yadda.

Haven't updated that in just yet, and being too used to the 600 rear buttons and Df having the same exact layout and most of the functions I totally overlooked one being flash controls now.
