The Mamiyalite
is a series control
type automatic elec-
tronic flash, so energy
is saved at close
distances.
The remaining energy
is
stored
in a capacitor until
the flash is re-
charged, shortening
recycle
times and
extending
battery
life
.
The lvlamiyalite lVlZ

or
MZ
36R
will not
flash
if the
switch
on the flash unit is set
to
"MZ-AUTO"
