Tips for Better Results
* Good results in multi-exposure depend on careful shutter speed and lens opening setting. This means, in order
to prevent overexposure of the final picture, we suggest that the first picture should be underexposed by
adjusting either shutter speed or lens opening.
* If you want, repeat the same action for the third exposure or afterwards.
* Whenever advancing the Film Advance Lever ( 13) for second exposure or afterwards, make sure that the
Multi-exposure Button (27) is pressed firmly with the other hand and watch to see that Exposure Counter (15) is
not advanced, indicating that multi-exposure picture is ready to be taken.
* When multi-exposure shots are not required, be sure to lock the Multi-Exposure Button by sliding the Multi-
Exposure Lock Lever (28) towards the right until the red dot disappears.
Take practice shots to get yourself accustomed to the multi-exposure technique and take creative pictures of
your own.
TAKING FLASH PICTURES
You can use a flash at night or in a dimly lit room as well as for supplementary lighting in outdoor photography.
The camera and electronic flash will be fully synchronized with the shutter speed at "B'', "X" and 4 sec. to 1/125
sec. Since proper flash exposure may not be obtained by automatic exposure setting, always override Shutter
Speed Dial (8) from "AUTO" setting.
The RICOH XR Speedlite 240 is available exclusively for use with the RICOH XR-2s.
How to Use the RICOH XR Speedlite 240
1. Attach XR Speedlite 240 to the XR-2s.
2. Turn on the power source switch on the flash unit.
3. When the flash unit is fully charged, the FLASH LED (31 ) on the frame of the view-finder eye-piece will
turn red indicating it is ready for use.
4. When the shutter speed on the camera is set to "AUTO", it is automatically synchronized at 1/90 sec. This
avoids the trouble of having to set the correct speed yourself.
5. With ASA 100 film, the F-stop should be set at 5.6, and the flash unit will automatically control the amount
of light to give the correct exposure.
Tips For Better Results
* Do not use other makes of flash units that have a special signal pin exclusively for
their cameras, as this will result in incorrect exposure or may even damage the circuitry.
* The XR Speedlite 240 has a range of synchronization of "AUTO", "B", "X'', and from 4 sec. to 1/125 sec.
