Flash synchronization
The Honeywell Pentax has two sets of terminals
- FP and X. The table below shows which flash
contact, which shutter speed and which flash
bulb may be combined for maximum 1amp effi-
ciency. Unless these combinations are rigidly
followed, there will be a failure in flash synchro-
nization.
Note the
"
X" setting is exactly at the
60 marked on the speed dial. This indicates the
highest shutter speed at which Honeywell
Strobonars or other electronic flash units may
be
used
.

it will re-
lease the shutter in 5-13 seconds. When
operating the self-timer, always depress
the self-timer release button

the shutter. Do not depress the shutter
button ... it will immediately release the
shutter without delayed
