Pentax MV-1 - Auto Flash Photography with AF 200 S; AF 200 S Compatibility; Mounting the AF 200 S; Shutter Sync Speed

AUTO FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY WITH THE AF 200S
To accompany its unprecedently easy auto exposure system, the
MV 1 features automatic flash synch with the AF 200S Auto Flash
When this dedicated flash unit is used, flash photography is as
simple as normal exposure on Auto. Moreover, the AF 200S couples
with a special "X" LED indicator inside the viewfinder that enables
you to know when it is ready to fire, without even taking your eye
from the viewfinder. To mount the AF 200S. simply slide the flash-
shoe mount all the way into the camera's hotshoe and tighten the
thumb screw. The camera’s exposure mode dial may be kept at
AUTO because the MV 1 synchronizes automatically at 1/100 sec
when the unit charges via a special auto flash synch contact inside
the hotshoe.
After mounting the AF 200S. set the auto flash mode and lens
aperture according to the instructions accompanying the unit.
NOTE: When rhe auto flash charges and the viewfinder "X” LED
flash ready indicator lights, the red, green or yellow LED indicators
will light as usual, but. as the auto flash system overrides these
indications, they should be disregarded for flash photography.
