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•

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
flash
-
shoe
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.
