WWW.LENSINC.NET
The Nikon F2AS Photomic camera is designed to synchro-
nize with most types of flashbulbs at almost all shutter speeds
and with electronic flash at speeds to 1/80 second. The table
below shows which shutter speeds may be used with different
types of flashbulbs.

Synchronized
No special adapters are necessary when using the Nikon F2AS
Photomic camera with the Flash Unit BC-7 or with the Speed-
light Unit SB-2 or SB-5. For other Nikon flash units with ISO-
type hot-shoe contacts, mounting on the camera is via the Flash
Unit Coupler AS-1; with the AS-1, no sync cord is required,
as it provides full connection via the camera's hotshoe con-
tact.
Caution: When the reflex mirror is locked in the up position, the
shutter will not synchronize with flashbulbs at speeds faster than 1/
80 second.
