Synchronization
Synchronization with electronic flash and bulbs is effected by means of the X contact. The flash socket (6) is built
into lower part of the camera front. Clockwise rotation of the milled ring on the flash socket keeps the flash plug
locked in position. When inserting or removing the flash plug make sure that the red dot on the milled ring stands
opposite the red dot of front of the flash socket. For the use of electronic flash, the speed dial must be moved to the
arrow setting, for short burning bulbs to 1/15 second or longer. For delayed action exposure to shutter release has to
be depressed until the flash lights up. (Use cable release with locking device.) The correct diaphragm setting is found
by dividing the guide number of the flash by the flash to subject distance figure.
