AUTO FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY WITH THE AF 200 S 0 X To accompany its unprecedently easy auto exposure system, the MV features automatic flash synch with the AF 200S Auto Flash. When this exclusively designed flash unit is used, flash photography is as simple as normal exposure on Auto. Moreover, the AF 200S couples with a special "X" LED indicator inside the viewfinder that enables you to know when it is ready to fire, without even taking your eye from the viewfinder. To mount the AF 200S, simply slide the flashshoe mount all the way into the camera's hotshoe. The camera's exposure mode dial is kept at AUTO because the MV synchronizes automatically at 1/100 sec. when the unit charges via a special auto flash synch contact inside the hotshoe. After mounting the AF 200S, set the auto flash mode and lens aperture according to the instructions accompanying the unit. NOTE: When the auto flash charges and the viewfinder "X" LED flash ready indicator lights, the red, green or yellow LED indicators will light as usual, but, as the auto flash system overrides these indications, they should be disregarded for flash photography. 20•
