FLASH SYNCHRONIZATION
The Nikonos II is designed to synchronize with almost all types of
flashbulbs at all shutter speeds and with electronic flash at speeds
up to 1/60 second. The synchro socket on the camera baseplate
has an FP contact for use with type M, FP and MF flashhulbs and
an X contact for electronic flash. The table below shows which
shutter speeds may be used with different types of flashbulbs.
An accessory flash unit adapter makes possible the use of a
regular flash unit or electronic flash on land. Slide the flash unit
into the accessory shoe on top of the camera. Unscrew the tripod
socket and screw in the flash unit adapter in its place. Connect the
synchro cord to the flash contact on the adapter.
For underwater photography, an underwater flash unit is available.
Refer to the instruction manual supplied with the unit for details.
Caution: Do not submerge the camera in water with the tripod socket unscrewed
unless the underwater flash connector is securely fastened
