as follows:
a. Reset the shutter speed to 1/60 sec-
ond.
b. Turn the aperture ring until the me-
ter needle centers between the over- and
under-exposure index marks in the cam-
era viewfinder.
c. Using the flash calculator dial, ex-
posure tables, or guide number formula,
determine the correct flash-to-subject
distance for the F stop now set on the
camera's aperture ring,
d. Move to this distance from the sub-
ject and re-focus or remove the flash
unit from the camera and move it only
to this distance from the subject using a
synchro cord extension to maintain
flash synchronization with the camera.
Automatic Flash Exposure Control
If your electronic flash unit has
manual/auto flash exposure control, set
it for auto operation.
Set the camera's shutter speed ring
to 1/60 second.
Turn the aperture ring until the me-
ter needle centers between the over- and
under-exposure index marks in the cam-
era's viewfinder.
Focus on your subject to determine
the camera-to-subject distance.
If your electronic flash unit has an
"AUTO F STOP" that corresponds with
the F stop set on your camera and if
that "AUTO F STOP" will provide au-
tomatic flash control within the dis-
tance range you found in Step 5, you
may take the picture using this "AUTO
F STOP" setting on your electronic
flash unit. If these conditions are not
met, use the procedures for Manual
Flash Exposure Control. (In case of the
Quick Auto 310, determine the F
number and set the auto/manual
switch dial to one of F4, F5.6 or F8;
ASA 100).
FLASHBULB PHOTOGRAPHY
Mount the Accessory Shoe 1 to the
camera and insert the shoe mount of the
flash unit into the accessory shoe.
* If your flash unit does not have a "hot
shoe" contact, plug the flash unit's
synchro cord into the synchronizing
socket.
Select the proper shutter speed and
synchro setting from the table below
according to the type of bulb being used
and make these settings on the camera.
Determine the correct F stop for
flash exposure by using the guide num-
ber formula. (See page 27.)
* The guide number for any flash-
bulb/film combination may be found on
the flashbulb packaging.
Set the correct F stop with the cam-
era's aperture ring.
The table indicates proper synchronization speeds for most flash equipment.
