I don't know how the first flash is going to set off the other flash guns without unwanted signals flying around a split second early or late.ĮXPOSURE: If this whole setup is going to work, a flash meter should work just fine. The World’s Quietest, Light and Compact 6x7. Beware of preflash and make sure there's no preflash causing problems with the flash trigger. UNKNOWN and POSSIBLE PROBLEM: The 580EX flash units are not designed to work with flash triggers placed on old film cameras. This allmeans you can use any shutter speed you want and two important things will happen.ġ/ x sync means the the shutter opens really quickly becasue the falsh gets bright really quicklyĢ/ because the shiole leaf shutter is open at the same time, the film will "see" the flash at any shutter speed.ĪDJUST THE SHUTTER SPEED to control the amount of ambient light, and to control any camera shake or subject movement, depending on how bright the ambient light is.

Lots of light should go through the lens, and then past the open shutter and you'll see this light as a rectangle. recommended primer & undercoat: white & light tones. Test this put a flash on the camera, open the cameraback (obviously with no film) and press theshutter release. The BIG ADVANTAGE of a leaf shutter is that will sync with flash at any shutter speed. Hasselblads and Bronicas most had left shutters other Mamiyas like the 645 and the Pentax 67 medium format cameras had focal plane shutters, too. The various Mamiya 7 camera lenses each have a shutter built into them, and the shutter is called a "leaf shutter" in contrast to the focal plane shutter builtinto the camera, not thelens, for most 35mm film cameras. The Mamiya 7 probably only syncs at X sync, so there will not be a M setting and there will not be a lever between X and M. If you can go to Google Images and look at cameras from the 1950s and 1960, you'll see little levers toswitch from X to M and back to X. This longer time allows the flash bulb to get brighter and brighter, and when it is at its brightest, the shutter opens to capture the most light.

With M-sync there's a longer time between when the flash goes off and the shutter goes off. The alternative to X-sync is M-sync, and M-sync is designed for use with flash bulbs - find a grandfather to tell you about them. Anyway, what X sync means is that the camera is set up for electronic flash, and there is very, very little time between when the flash goes off, and the shutter opens (and then closes)
