Nikon Elw instruction manual Flash Synchronization

FLASH SYNCHRONIZATION

The Nikomat ELW is designed to synchronize with various types of flashbulbs at almost all shut- ter speeds and with the speedlights at speeds up to 1/125 sec.

Either a bulb or speedlight flash unit slides over the accessory shoe on top of the pentaprism housing . For units with a hot shoe, the accesso ry shoe has a hot-shoe contact which eliminates the need for a synch cord. For flash units without a hot shoe, use a synch cord and connect the synch terminal on the side of the camera with the synch socket on the flash unit. The synch terminal on the camera is threaded for positive connection. To prevent an accidental electric shock, the accessory

shoe turns on only when the flash unit is in place. Nikon speedlight units 58-3 and 58-4 can be directly attached to the Niko mat ELW. For mounting the Nikon speedlight unit 58-2 or flash unit 8C-7, use of the flash unit coupler A5-2 is necessary . To use the Nikon 5peedlight 58-5 (Grip type), connect the synch cord 5C-5 attached with the 58-5 to the synch terminal of the camera. For details, refer to the instruction manual pro- vided with each unit.
