Flash synchronization
The LEICA M 4-P accepts all flash units on
the market with standard flash plugs
(coaxial plug) or with accessory-shoe
contact.
The bushes for the cable connection of
flash units are arranged on the back of the
camera. Flashbulbs are connected to the
left-hand bush (20) marked "M", and
electronic flash units on the right-hand
bush marked "
X
" (21).
Flash units and adapters without cable
connection can be connected through the
"X" flash contact in the accessory shoe (9).
Flash cubes and certain types of flash-bulb
are fired through the X contact bush. The
table on the right offers information about
the various possibilities. Three flash units
may be used simultaneously through the 3
flash connections.
