Owner's Manual

The hot shoe of the Minox 35 PL
takes any electronic flash unit with a
centre contact in the foot - as well as
the Minox TC 35 and FC 35 computer
flash units which are specially
matched to the Minox 35.
Push the black blanking plate out
of the hot shoe towards the rear. Fully
push the foot of the flash unit into the
shoe.
This disengages the automatic
exposure control of the Minox 35 PL
and sets a fixed shutter speed of 1/90
second.
Do not take flash shots with the
aperture ring (12) set to A (automa-
tic). For flash shots select one of the
marked apertures between f/2.8 and
f/16 (including intermediate values)
- check the instructions of the flash
used.
With some electronic flash units
(not with the special Minox flashes)
you must operate the film transport of
the 35 PL immediately after every flash
shot. For unless the shutter is tension-
ed, such flash units either fail to give a
ready signal for the next flash or (more
rarely) may automatically trigger the
next flash after recycling. (This is not a
fault but a feature of the electronic cir-
cuit.)
Push down the small sliding switch
(18) at the right of the finder eyepiece
to uncover a red window with T
(timer) in white. This delays the shut-
ter release by about 12 seconds after
you have pressed the green release
button (or released with a cable
release).
A red flashing LED on the camera
front (9) signals that the selftimer is
running but the exposure has not yet
started. The flashing rate doubles
after 4 seconds and again after 8
seconds of the delay period.
