Minolta MAXXUM 8000i Instruction Manual page 31

Without Fill Flash
The camera's sync terminal accepts PC-type
sync cords from flash units that do not have a
hot-shoe contact In these cases, the shutter
speed should be set manually to 1/180 sec. or
slower. TTL-flash metering does not operate
with such units. To determine the aperture set¬
ting required for correct exposure, refer to the
flash's instruction manual, or use a flash meter.
