Minolta X-370S - Flash Photography; Connecting Flash Units and Synchronization

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 "60" 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 1/60 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 "60" 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 1/60 sec. (he., 1/125 and
upward),

flash unit's instruction manual
