Flash technique
(only use in manual mode! Switch off automatic mechanism with knob (4) at
marker 5 fig. 1).
The Prontor-SVA shutter of the Automatic 66 is fully synchronized and has a synchro-lever
for X and M-setting (13) fig. 1 underneath the flash contact.
To trigger the flash at 'M', the self-timer lever must also be cocked; its effect as a self-
trigger is then suspended.
The information on the packaging of standard flash bulbs provides information about
which synchronization mode and which shutter speed can be used for the individual bulb
types.
Electronic flash units must always be used with the X-M synchro-lever in the X position.
