PC TERMINAL
This camera is equipped with a PC connector which enables you
to connect PC-capable flash units with a flash sync cord.
• Your camera's PC terminal is center-positive; the most common polarity
used for PC connections.
• Flash units with an extremely low trigger voltage may not work with the
800si. If your flash has a low trigger voltage, contact a Minolta Service
Facility.
• When used with the Vertical Control Grip VC-700 (sold separately) both
the camera's PC terminal and the VC-700's PC terminal can be used
(together or separately).
Set the exposure mode to M,
then set the shutter to 1/200
or slower.
• Turn the flash unit off before
connecting the sync cord to the PC
terminal or the flash unit may fire
unexpectedly while connecting.
