· REPLACING THE LENS
Place lens, line up the red dot on:: the lens barrel with the red dot on the camera body. Turn lens
counter clockwise until a click is heard. This will let you know your lens is properly seated.
· FLASH SYNCHRONIZATION
Synchronization, here, means the coincidence of the
flash with the shutter opening. The duration of the
flash must be long enough to strike the film during
the shutter travel. Now this duration of the flash
depends on the kind of flash bulb you are
using. The table on page 20 shows you what
shutter speed a certain bulb or an electronic flash
will synchronize when using the "Ricoh Singlex".
Two Standard sockets recessed into the left hand end wall of the camera and are color coded, M in
black and X in red indicating the respective contacts, M in black and X in red. The plug from the
flash unit is inserted into the socket M when using M class flash bulbs and X when using F class
bulb or electronic flash unit. The red 125 on the shutter speed dial indicates the limit of speed when
using an electronic flash unit having zero delay.
