FLASH SYNCHRONIZATION
Nikon FE
When the camera is in automatic mode, mount- ing the 58-10 unit onto the FE camera body and turning on both the unit and the camera's meter automatically set the shutter speed of the camera at 1/90 second. And when the ready- light built into the eyepiece of the FE camera glows, it indicates readiness for flash shooting. When in manual mode, set the shutter speed at 1/125 sec. or slower . Turn on the unit and when the ready-light lights up, you are ready for flash photography. When the shutter speed is set beyond the camera's sync range, the ready-light flickers as a sync warning signal . However, it is kept lit if the film-advance lever is depressed (i .e ., turning off the meter).
The built-in hot shoe contact eliminates the need for a sync cord.
With the Nikkormat EL and ELW, first set the shutter speed at 1/125 sec. or slower. Then lift and turn the knurled sync selector ring around the shu tter-speed di al u nti I the Iigh tn ing symbol (7')appears in the selector window. A hot- shoe contact built into the mounting foot of the 58-10 eliminates the need for a sync cord. With the Nikon EL2 . and FM, and Nikkormat FT2 and FT3, set the camera shutter speed for 1/125 sec. or slower. Due to the built-in auto- matic sync switchover mechanism, this is the only step necessary to ensure proper flash operation. The built-in hot shoe contact elimi- nates the need for a sync cord.
