          FLASH SYNCHRONISATIONL.            At the side of the shutter there is o co-oxiol socket on which o suitoble
               plug ond leod from o flosh gun con be ploced. On firing the shutter,
                contoct is then mode outomoticolly (the shutter speed should be set
                 to1l25 sec). The findershoe mqy be used for the flosh gun or foro photo-
                 meter. All Pronto ond Prontor-SVS shutters ore synchronised for Bulb on

         C          The Prontor SVS shutter mokes it possible to use flosh bulbs ot short                  shutter speeds from 1/50th to 1/500th os well. This full synchronisotion
                corresponds to o position of the lever ot the yellow spot "M". When
                 using Electronic flosh lomps or the "X" type of bulbs, this lever shouid
              be put ogoinst X (red spot) ond the shutter speed should be set ot 1/25th.
             When toking flosh light pictures (not opplicoble to "M" type) with
               deloyed oction, the shutter speed is set ot 1l25lh ond the lever on V
                 (green spot). With this SVS shutter, it is not necessory onymore, to cock
                 the deloyed oction mechonism, os this is chorged outomoticolly together
                with the other mechonism of the shutter, whenever this is cocked. lt is
                olso possible, ofter cocking the shutter, to chonge the chosen shutter
               speed ond to switch over the lever from V to X or M. The shutter will
               olwoys corry out the wonted oction irrelevont whether the setting wos
             done before or ofter cocking. For deloyed oction pictures it is only
                necessory to put the lever on V (green point) ond on the required
                  shuttter speed.
              The Azore-V is firted with o builr-in oPT|CAL EXPOSURE METER, which
                 gives o very good indicotion os to the correct exposure for block ond
                white film. However, when using colour film, it is odvisoble to use on
                   efectricol exposure meter, for owing to the very limited exposure loti-
                  tude, oll subjective errors should be excluded.
            When using the exposure meter, the lost well defined figure is notecl.
                 This is the light speed foctor, shown in the horizontol column in the
                 following toble, ogoinst which in the line corresponding to the chosen
                diophrogm, the correct exoosure con be found. ln cose of doubt pleose
              olwoys choose the lower figure. When meosuring it is odvisoble to
                  protect the exposure meter with your hond ogoinst the sky-light.
