Using Other Flash Units

The Canonet G-III 17 has both a direct contact accessory shoe and conventional flash socket. Automatic flash photography is possible with flash bulbs and electronic flash units other than the Canolite D.

Insert the flash into the accessory shoe and connect its cord if it is not a cordless unit.
