FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
Electronic flash or bulbs may be used to
soften shadows in daylight conditions as
well as to provide artificial illumination
when available light is inadequate for
proper exposure.
Your choice of a flash unit will depend
upon your individual photographic
needs, and may include the Olympus
Quick Auto 310, PS 200 Quick or
PS 200.
The Accessory Shoe 1 is screwed into
the hot shoe socket on the OM-1
pentaprism housing to provide direct
contact with the clip-on type electronic
flash.
(For the selection of units, see page
45.)
Use of Electronic Flash Units
Attach the Accessory Shoe 1 to the
OM-1.
* Detach the acessory shoe when a flash
is not mounted on the camera (because
the shoe may come in the way during
photography), or when a side-mounting
bracket is used to support the flash unit
(because you may feel a small elec-
trical shock when touching the terminal
contact of the accessory shoe).
Mount the flash unit on the camera.
Slide the flash unit into the camera's
accessory shoe as far as it will go.
* If your electronic flash unit does not
have a direct contact "hot shoe", con-
nect its synchro cord to the flash
synchro socket on the camera.
Set the camera's synchro terminal
switch (FP and X flash selector) to
"X".
