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 mark ed on the speed dial. This indicates the
highest shutter speed at which Honeywell
Strobonars or other electronic flash units may
be used.

Self-timer
Depending upon how far down you turn
the self· timer cocking lever <D, it will re-
lease
the shutter in 5-13 seconds. When
operating the self-timer, always depress
the self-timer release button @ to release
the shutter. Do not depress the shutter
button ... it will immediately release the
shutter without delayed action. The self-
timer cocking lever should be turned down
at least 90° or the release button will not
operate.
