FLASH SYNCHRONIZATION
The
Nikomat
ELW
is designed to synchronize
with various
types of flashbulbs at almost all
shut-
ter
speeds and
with
the speedlights at speeds
up
to
1/125
sec.
Either a
bulb
or
speedlight
flash
unit
slides over
the accessory shoe on top
of the pentaprism
housing.
For units with
a
hot
shoe, the
accesso
ry
shoe
has
a
hot-shoe
contact which eliminates the
need
for a synch cord.
For
flash
units without
a
hot
shoe,
use
a synch cord and connect the synch
terminal on the side of the camera
with the
synch
socket on the flash
unit. The
synch
terminal
on
the camera is
threaded
for
positive connection. To
prevent
an accidental electric shock,
the
accessory
50
shoe turns on only
when the
flash
unit is in place.
Nikon
speedlight
units
58-3 and
58-4
can be
directly
attached to the
Niko
mat
ELW.
For
mounting the Nikon
speedlight
unit 58-2
or flash
unit 8C-7, use
of the flash
unit
coupler
A5-2
is
necessary.
To use the Nikon 5peedlight
58-5
(Grip
type), connect
the
synch
cord 5C-5
attached
with the 58-5
to
the
synch terminal of the camera.
For details, refer to the instruction manual pro-
vided
with
each unit.
