5. Flash shots
Accessory shoe 20 with X-central flash outlet can take a flash gun.
Flash guns without central contact require the flash cable adapter
301060.
Flash bulbs and electronic flash can be used. For colour shots use
only blue bulbs or electronic flash.
For flash shots, ignore the exposure meter. Set the exposure time,
aperture and subject distance as recommended by the manufacturer
of the flash unit
Permissible shutter speeds:
Flash bulbs -1/30 second or longer (shorter speeds will cause underexposures or even no exposures at
all).
Electronic flash - any speed up to 1/500 second.
Shadow areas are reduced if the flash gun is situated above the lens and the camera held accordingly: keep
the flash to the left of the camera for upright shots, and on top for horizontal shots.
The camera is easy to operate in both these positions.
