As
an
electronic flash has a much shorter duration than
the
flash of a cube, the automatic flash exposure control
cannot close
th
e shutter before the electronic flash
is
over. So even at the f shutter dial setting, you generally
utilise
the whole light
ou
tput of
an
electronic flash.
The automatic flash exposure control at the f
se
tting
closes the Minox
LX
camera shutter after about 1/300
second if the flash of the electron
ic
unit would yield a
correctly exposed or overexposed picture. The shutter
closes after about 1
/30 second if the flash is inadequate
for a correct exposure.
Apart from
th
e f shutter speed dial setting you can for
electronic flash shots select any of the fixed time set-
tings from
1/30
to
1/500 second.

correct exposure with
