My suspicion served me well AFTER the fact. My manual is in French, and my French n'est pas si bon. As always, your help is much appreciated Carlos. Elias On Dec 6, 2009, at 12:07 PM, CarlosMFreaza wrote:
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. Carlos 2009/12/6 CarlosMFreaza <cmfreaza@xxxxxxxxx>:Elias, this is from the 2.8C manual, page 39: "When using the self-timer...Only the X setting will be operative, regardless of the position of the synchronizer lever..." It seems this is the cause for your Rolleiflash shot failure.- Carlos 2009/12/6 Elias Roustom <eroustom@xxxxxxxxxxx>:My Rolleiflash photo of family at Thanksgiving, did not come out. Somehowthe shutter and flash weren't in sync.I used the self timer and I had the flash sync set to M. Is there anythingabout the self-timer and the M setting that doesn't work?The one shot that did come out was only different in that I released theshutter myself.
