Photography with Flash
The meter cannot be used when taking flash pictures as the
burst of light is too short. In all cases the Speed Dial [1]
must be set to, "30-X", the aperture being determined by
the camera-to-subject distance. Tables or calculators for
this are given in the instructions for the flashgun often
being incorporated into the gun itself. Some flashguns have
built-in computers which allow the aperture to be left at
one setting regardless of camera-to-subject distance.
Set the Speed Dial to "30-X".
Remove square shield from Accessory Shoe [18] and put in
a safe place.
A lightweight compact gun may be slid into the accessory
shoe. If there is a lead connect the plug to Flash Sync.
Socket [5].
A large or heavy gun must be fitted to a flash bracket
screwed into one of the Tripod Bushes [23] on the camera
base. Connect the lead to the Flash Sync. Socket [5].
Set Aperture Ring [9] in accordance with the flashgun's
instructions.
Switch gun on, wait for "ready" light, focus and proceed.
Remember to replace the accessory shoe cover after
removing gun.
