Do nol, however, use the self-timer withthe shutter set to B.
Synchronized Flash Shofs
Smoll light-weight flosh guns con be mounted directly in the occessory shoeon top of the comero. Lorger guns or the lomp holders of electronic floshunits qre generolly mounted to one side of the comero with o speciol brocket.The flosh coble completes the electric circuit; it plugs into the flosh socket(,|1) on ihe shutter.
The shuiter hos only one synchronizing setting: X. For flosh shots (with or withoutthe self-timer) you must therefore use only lhe shutter speeds shown in the tobleopposite.

The correcf aperture setting con beobloined from so-colled guide numbers,usuolly quoted on the flosh bulbpocking or in the leoflet issued withthe bulb or electronic flqsh unit. Dividethe oppropriote guide number by ihedistqnce in feet between the subieclond the flosh gun on the comerq: theresult is ihe operture to be used.

Using the Focqr Lenses
Setting the dislonce - Bring the comero (preferobly mounted on o tripod) close to thesubiect until the lotter oppeors in the desired size in the finder. Then fit the cor-responding Focor lens, or both lenses (No. I ond 2) together, in front of the comerolens - occording to the subiect distonce involved (see columns ll to lV in the tobleopposite).
Next meosure the exoct distonce from the front of the lens to the centre of lhe subiect.Look up this disfonce in columns ll to lV, ond troce ocross to column I find thenecessory disionce scole setling on the comero. Set the focusing mounl to this figure.
Aperlure ond depth of field - To obtoin sufficient depth of field, stop down to otleost f/5.6 or f/8. When copying documents even f/ll or fl16 is odvisoble.
The finder imoge - Insert the PROXIRECT into the occessory shoe of the comero soihot the unit is in front of the finder window. Then set the front ond the reor scolerings to the distonce corresponding to the exoct subject distonce. This now gives youo porollox-free finder imogg. The slight dorkening in lhe corners of the finder imoge,due to the round shope of the PROXIRECT, does nol, of course, oppeor in the picture.
Exposure - The exposure is virtuolly not offected by the Focor lenses. Filters shouldbs mounted in front of the Focor lens (remember to ollow for the filter focior).
