Flash shots
Th e Minox LX can take flash shots with any type of flash
unit. A particularly handy unit is the special Minox FL 4
flash holder for electric flash cubes (see illustration) -
not
only becau se of its small size (2 x 3.2 x 5.4 cm) but
also because of a special feature of the Mi no x LX: au-
tomatic
fla sh exposure control.
Automatic flash exposure
For flash shots set the shutter speed dial to the
flash symbol ~ (automatic flash exposure control) .
Minox FL 4 with flash cubes
Within certain distance ranges, determined
by the film
speed, the Minox LX automatically controls the expos-
ure with
flash cubes. Once you have set the shutter
speed
dial to f , the silicon blue ce ll of the Minox LX
measures the flash illumination reflected from the sub-
ject and closes the camera's
electronic shutter as soon
as the meter has recorded the correct exposure. The
Minox
FL 4 flash cube holder
longest time is however 1/30 second. Automatic flash control setting
