FLASH SYNCHRONIZATION 0 The ME has an "X" socket on the side of the lens mount, and a separate X contact Q on the built-in hot/cold accessory shoe. This hot/cold shoe contact remains electrically disconnected until an accessory's shoe is inserted. This is accomplished by a tiny micro-switch built into one of the shoe rails. This excellent arrangement affords good protection from the hazard of electric shock when using the other flash socket on the front of the camera body. If your electronic flash is of the small shoe-mount type capable of cordless operation, mount it on the hot shoe, as illustrated. If your flash is not of the shoe mount type, then plug its cord into the "X" socket When using electronic flash, be sure to set the shutter dial at "100X." This is the highest shutter speed at which electronic flash units may be used. li PEINTAX • 100X' 24.
