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
s
peedlight
flash
unit
slides over
the
accessory
shoe
on
top
of
the
pentaprism
housing.
For
units with a
hot
shoe,
the
accessory
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
50
shoe
turns
on
only
when
the
flash
unit
is
in
place.
