I forgot to add the manual also says that for the case: Self-timer+X-sync+bulb lamp (only combo to shoot with the self-timer and bulb lamps), the best shutter speed is 1/25. Interesting to note that for the same reason, the Rolleimagic flash sync is 1/30 and X only, it allows to use flash bulbs at X sync.
