FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY WITH AN ELECTRONIC FLASH UNIT OTHER THAN THE T32-T20

Mount the electronic flash on the accessory shoe.

If your electronic flash unit does not have a direct contact "hot shoe", connect its syn- chronizing cable to the camera flash socket.

Set the synchro terminal to "X" by aligning the red dot on the FP and X selector with the "X" indication alongside the flash socket.

NOTE: Mounting the electronic flash unit on the accessory shoe automatically completes the "X"

synchro circuit. However, there are some flash

units which do not fire unless the selector is set to "X".
