If you don't know what "M" is, you want to use X. This is true of
other cameras that use Seiko or Seikosha shutters as well.
M is used with strobes with delayed peak of light output. The
electrical contact closes shortly before the shutter is open. In some
lens shutters (mostly 35mm fixed lens rangefinder cameras like Konica
Auto S series, Minolta Hi-Matic series, Olympus 35RC, 35SP, etc.) with
an incorporated self timer, the self timer is usually unusable in M
mode because the timing mechanism is shared.
Most modern cameras don't even have M mode, and they are all X-sync
terminals. That is, most, if not all, current electronic flashes and
studio flashes use X-sync. For this reason, you might even glue a
piece of plastic to secure the switch in X position.
