The M sync setting goes back to the days of flash bulbs.  Unlike strobes the
light output from a flash bulb is not instantaneous but takes a few milliseconds
to reach maximum.  (Magnesium wire/foil is burning in oxygen in the bulb.)  M
sync takes this into consideration.  Unless you are using flash bulbs leave the
shutter on the X setting.

Subject: [pure-silver] Flash settings for Mamiya 330C



I am planning a first time portrait sitting using a 330C and two 
standard mono flashes for lighting.

My question concerns the camera's synch settings.  Seems that an M 
setting is correct for "M" type tubes and an X setting is appropriate 
for "flash".  This is according to the user manual.

Could someone clarify what is a M type tube,  and advise which setting 
is appropriate for the monos.

Thanks in advance.  Russ.
