OTHER FLASH UNITS The MG can be used with a variety of hotshoe type flash units equipped for direct synchronization. It also works with units requiring a cord hook such as the AF-400T when the hotshoe adaptor unit is used. Bracket-mount type units can be mounted to the socket at the base of a tripod, and synchronized via the hotshoe adaptor. For Flash Operation: Synchronize the unit manually for flash by setting the shutter mode dial to "100X." Then, set the flash exposure as indicated in the instruction manual accompanying your flash unit. NOTE: Viewfinder flash synchronization and flash ready indication are not given when the manual "100X" setting is used. ("Dedicated" flash operation is not offered for the AF-400T when used with the MG). IMPORTANT: Use of dedicated flash units other than Pentax may damage the camera's electronic circuitry and precautions should be taken. Also, when using the Pentax Superlite B, synchronize for flash at the mechanical "100X" shutter speed setting only. 100X B • 29.
