FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
Connecting flash
units
Cordless clip-on flash units, such as
the
Minolta
Auto
Electroflash 200X
and
118X are
attached
and electrically
connected
by simply sliding
them
into
the
camera's
hot
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. (i.e.,
1/125
and
upward).
NOTE
• For more detailed instructions, please refer
to
the
flash unit's owner's manual.
