FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
Connecting flash
units
Cordless
clip-on
flash
units,
such
as
the
Minolta
Auto
Electroflash 220X, 200X, 132X and 118X, are attached and
electrically connected
by
simply sliding them into the camera's
accessory shoe.
Synchronization
When a
Minolta
X-series
Auto
Electroflash
is
used
on
the camera
with
its mode/shutter-speed selector
at
any
position
other
than
"B",
the
"50"
LED
in
the
viewfinder
will
blink
as
a flash-ready signal when
the
flash
is
turned
on and
fully
charged, and
the
shutter
will
be
automati-
cally switched over
to
1
/50
sec
, when
the
shutter
is
released.
If
you
use
an
electronic
flash
other
than
a
Minolta
X-series
Auto
Electroflash,
the
mode/shutter-speed
selector
must
be set at
"50"
to
assure
complete
exposure
of
the
film
frame
. Slower speeds can also be used
under
certain
conditions
if
desired
for
particular
effects
.
Do
not
use
speeds faster
than
1/50
sec
. (i.e.,
1/125
and
upward).
