FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
Connecting flash units
Cordless clip-on flash units, such as the Minolta Auto
Electroflash 200X and 118X are attached and electrically
connected
by simply sliding them into the camera's hot
shoe.
Synchronization
When a Minolta X-series Auto Electroflash is used on
the camera with its mode/shutter-speed selector at any
position other than "B", the
"60"
LED in the viewfinder
will blink as a flash-ready signal when the flash is turned
on and fully charged, and the shutter will be automati-
cally switched over to 1 /60
sec.
when the shutter is
released.
If you use an
electronic
flash other than a Minolta X-
series Auto Electroflash, the mode/shutter-speed selector
must be set at "60" to assure complete exposure of the
film frame. Slower speeds can also be used under certain
conditions if desired for particular
effects.
Do not use
speeds faster than 1/60 sec
.
(i.e., 1/125 and upward).
NOTE
• For more detailed instructions, please refer to the
flash unit's owner's manual.
