Hopefully not a silly question....

I hope I'm not being silly here.
I was playing with my K10d and I used the slow sync flash mode.
I had it set to 1 second exposure so I could see how things work, and noticed the flash fires when the shutter first opens.
Is it possible to have the flash fire immediately before the shutter closes instead? ( I'm sure I've read this about other cameras ).
What I've got in mind is a panning shot, but with the subject frozen at the end of the pan.
Getting there! Thanks to you guys

IIRC pentax call it trailing curtain sync and I'm pretty sure it was a setting on the K10D in the flash menu.
Cheers

Thanks, I can only see a "Slow Sync" option, unless I've not got it in the right mode, or using the right flash.
I have a grey out option which shows what looks like a fast forward double arrow and a flash. But I can't get that to come "live"
