Question re flash on an M3


Recommended Posts

Advertisement (gone after registration)

Help !! can I get away with using shutter speed 100 of sec on my M3 or do I have to use a

50 of sec ? I must point out that this is for day time fill in flash only in a street situation. -- does any person or can any M3 rangefinder owner be kind enough to advise. __CHEERS__

You have to use 1/50. At any shorter speed, the shutter is never fully open and the flash will only illuminate part of the image.

 

That said, some people have made creative use of this. By setting the shutter to 1/100 and turning the camera vertically you can restrict the flash illumination to either the top or the bottom of the image and have the rest exposed by available light only.

Thanks for that suggestion using flash @ 100 sec in portrait position, that could be a good idea, that could help when I have a printing session.I was able to obtain a flash sync adaptor for the rear of the M3 and a white plastic plug to cover the flash bulb socket. Any other advice

to get the best out of my M3 ?

 

Paul.
