Minolta XG-A - Synchronization; Connecting Flash Units

Synchronization
When a Minolta X-series Auto Electroflash is
being used on the XG-A with the camera's
shutter-function se)ector set at any position
other than "B," the "60" LED in the finder
will blink as a flash-ready signal and the shutter
will be automatically switched over to 1 /60 sec _
for proper X sync. I f you are using an elec-
tronic flash other than an X-series Auto Elec-
troflash, the shutter-function selector must be
set at
"X" to assure proper coverage of the film
frame .

NOTE
As indicated by the table, 1/60 is the
maximum shutter speed for proper X synchro-
nization. Slower speeds can also be used under
certain conditions if desired for particu lar
effects. Be sure
not to use speeds faster than
1/60, (i.e. 1/125 and upward) with electronic
or auto-flash units .
Connecting flash units
Cordless clip-on flash units such as the Auto
Electroflash 200X and 132X are attached and
electrically connected by simply sliding them
into the camera's hot shoe.
