BOPX
SET
With one of these flash units attached, the X-700's Direct Autoflash Meter-
ing system provides through -the-Iens (TTL) off-film flash control in program
(P) mode or any-aperture (A) mode. Viewfinder flash-ready signaling, auto
sync-speed setting, and sufficient-exposure confirmation are other features
that make them extremely simple to use .
The compact, lightweight 280PX has energy -saving thyristor circuitry and
a power-level selector enabling 2fps winder/motor-drive sync .
The inexpens ive yet versatile 132PX gives you the option of vertical bou nce
and automatically turns itself off when disconnected.
Among the many handy features of the top-of-the-line 360PX are: horizon-
tal/vertical bounce, variable GN/power control (enabling sync at up to 2fps) ,
auto power switchoff, terminals for off-camera cables and direct auto charge
control by the Multi-Function Back in time-lapse photography, and a built-in
auto sensor for use with other cameras.
The lens-mounted Macro 80PX Set (used in A mode) has four flashtubes
that can be independently switched on or off to control lighting of close-up
and macro subjects.
A wide range of accessories for PX flash units expands their usefulness for
creative flash photography. Designed for the 280PX and 360PX , Power Grip 2
features well -balanced handling, sync at up to 3.5fps, auto power switchoff,
auto charge control (with Multi-Function Back) , and bounce flash at a great
range of angles. Filter panel sets and a bounce reflector are available for the
360PX and 132PX, and an AC adapter for the 360PX and Macro 80PX Set.
Cables and connectors enable simple, accurate TTL autoflash operation for
close-up, directional, and multi-flash techniques .
