Flash operation

The Rolleiflex is X-synchronized for all shutter speeds up
to 1 / sec. The camera offers two
500
possibilities of flash connection:
1. To utilize the advantages of the TTL flash
metering, the use of Rolleiflex-compatible flash systems
is recommended. In conjunction with the Rolleiflex
torch flash devices are particularly recommendable. The
Rollei flash adapter SCA 356 offers the system conformi-
ty to all flash systems of well-known manufacturers sup-
plying the SCA 300 system. With fully automatic TTL
flash metering the light measurement is realized by a
sensor installed in the camera which registers the light
reflected from the film surface during the exposure. The
special flash control electronics then regulates the
quantity of light required for the specific subject. Filter
factors of any attached filters will be taken into conside-
ration automatically.

The system adapter Rollei SCA 356 is connected directly
with the camera via the X-synchronizing contact (a) and
the control contacts (b) of the hot shoe 22. Film speed
setting is done on the adapter. The "flash ready" and
computer control indication can be watched on the
flash unit.
Trial-flashing serves for utilizing the optimum
aperture as follows: keep trying stop down as long as
the exposure control indicator is illuminated. It is recom-
mended to carry out the trial flashes using the multiple
exposure function (only 1 frame is lost!).
2. Ordinary manual or computer flash units can be
connected via the camera's hot shoe or the
X-sychronizing socket 13.
