Flash Photography

The Mamiya 7II features an X synchro flash terminal and its lens shutter system permits flash synchronization at all shutter speeds.

Shoe-mounted flash units can be attached directly to the hot-shoe, while flash brackets can be attached to the tripod socket for larger flash guns.

Remove safety cover "A" to attach sync cord to PC terminal on front left bottom of camera.

[Determining the aperture]

When using automatic flash units, refer to the instructions on the flash unit for correct aperture settings. When using a manual electronic flash the guide number divided by subject distance gives the correct aperture.

∙'X contact of this camera is an exclusive contact for strobe.

∙Charged electronic flash units sometimes fire when they are attached to the camera. This does not indicate a defective circuit.

∙When using electronic flash, be sure to read its manual carefully.

∙Be careful, if electronic flash is used at the "A" (Auto exposure) mode, overexposure may occur.

CAUTION

•When an electronic flash is connected to the hot-shoe, currant moves through the X contact. So be sure to put the safety cover supplied with the camera on the X contact so that you will not receive an electric shock.

•When using strobe, never bring the camera close to human eyes (including

all living things) especially little children, because if it is flashed near the eyes, it can cause serious visual trouble.
